'There is no one like him!' - Sordid Lives writer/director, Del Shores

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - After his sell-out performances in November, Mingo Mexico Productions announces the return of Mark Alan Smith, singing live at Paco's Ranch, in a six night engagement on February 24, 25, 27 and March 2, 4 and 6 at 8 pm each night.

"I was so inspired by Vallarta's warm reception for Mark in November," says Tracy Parks, producer. "The owners and management at Paco's Ranch helped us turn the place into a very comfortable cabaret-style theatre and now they've agreed to let us do it again for two weeks! We're thrilled!"

Special seating allows customers great views of the stage in comfortable, padded seats, cabaret tables (in the VIP section) and elevated "ranch style" benches. "The state of the art sound system at Paco's Ranch proved perfect for this very unique show. It is pure magic watching Mark in this room!" Parks added.

Mark's LIVE vocal impressions (there is no lip sync in this show) of Cher, Bette Midler, Patti LaBelle, Judy Garland, Liza Manelli, Patsy Cline, Carol Channing, Louis Armstrong and many others leave his standing-room-only audiences begging for more. His stage presence and vocal range make this performer a must see!

For more than 20 years, Mark Alan Smith has traveled the US and other parts of the world selling out theatres, nightclubs and showrooms. He has performed with some of the greatest entertainers of our time including the legendary Eartha Kitt, Tiffany, The Weather Girls, Martha Wash, Thelma Houston and Sir Elton John, to name a few. A documentary about Mark, From a Jack to a Queen, directed by Erik Hayes, ran in short film festivals in 2003, winning an "Audience Favorite Award."

Performances will be at the all-new Paco's Ranch (Ignacio L. Vallarta 237 next to Club Roxy) in Vallarta's Old Town/Southside on February 24, 25 and 27, 2011 and March 2, 4 and 6th, at 8 pm each night.

Tickets for VIP seating (first 3 rows) are $200 pesos. General admission/reserved seating tickets are $150 pesos. Groups of 6 or more qualify for discounted seating. Tickets may be purchased at Bar Frida, Hotel Mercurio, VES Offices and online at MingoMexico.com.

Proceeds from these performances will benefit VES, (Vallarta Enfrenta el Sida, A.C.) helping them to continue their HIV education and outreach work in the Vallarta area.

Mark's show is best suited for adults and contains adult humor. The solo performance is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. Cocktail service is available before and during the show. Doors open by 7:30 pm. Showtime is 8 pm. For more information visit MingoMexico.com, or call (322) 168-9950.
