Roslyn Kind in Concert in Act II's The Red Room Cabaret

February 27, 2015

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The entertainment scene in Puerto Vallarta this winter can only be described as exhilarating. With new and expanding choices in venues along with top-notch entertainers, shows are selling out left and right. Puerto Vallarta is truly becoming a destination for those that love quality theater and cabaret.

The Red Room Cabaret (Act II Entertainment) is bringing many well known and talented performers to Puerto Vallarta. One such artist is the fabulous Roslyn Kind, who is scheduled to perform four shows at The Red Room from March 2nd through 5th at 7:30 pm.

It's an exciting time for singer, songwriter and entertainer, Roslyn Kind. She has done many concert performances through the years and this engagement follows a world tour with her sister, Barbra Streisand and her nephew, Jason Gould. "It was phenomenal," says Kind of joining the 2012-13 'Barbra Live' tour. "It was something I wanted most of my career, to sing with my sister on stage, and it finally transpired. It was a very exciting and loving experience to be on stage with my sister." Roslyn feels that the world tour opened a new chapter in her career.

A native of New York City, Roslyn Kind started recording her debut album the day she graduated from high school in June 1968. She went on to appear at the Plaza Hotel's legendary Persian Room in 1969 where she played to a packed house. She performed on the April 16, 1977, episode of 'Saturday Night Live.' She also spent several decades touring internationally as a concert artist.

Having taken a break from singing and entertaining for a few years, Roslyn believes that the world tour and the enthusiastic response from fans, motivated her to return to her concert/cabaret roots. Her amazing new, solo show debuted last April at New York City's 54 Below. "It was a big success!", she admitted.

The show combines favorites from the classic American songbook, Broadway and her own early recordings from RCA Records. Her return to cabaret has coincided with Sony's release of her first two RCA recordings (dating back to 1969) on one CD.

The show features such songs as It's a Beautiful Day, All That Jazz, It only Takes a Moment, and Can You Read My Mind. She also includes music by The Beatles, Leonard Bernstein, Sergio Mendes, and the Bergman's.

Backed by Alex Rybeck on piano, Roslyn creates a feeling of intimacy in the cabaret setting. Intelligent, confident and charismatic, she is the consummate, seasoned entertainer. With a range of emotion, insight and understanding, Ms.Kind captivates and enchants her audience.

The show has been directed by Richard Jay-Alexander. Ms. Kind and Jay-Alexander have known each other for years, but it wasn't until after working with her, on the Streisand tour, that the two began talking about putting together new material for her.

The director is known for his affiliation with Cameron Mackintosh and directing productions of Les Miserables, as well as serving as Executive Producer for the show, in addition to The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon. On concert stages he has worked with the best: Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Ricky Martin, IL DIVO, Donny & Marie, IL VOLO, Kristin Chenoweth, Johnny Mathis, Norm Lewis and many more. He says that working with Roz, is like a "family affair."

Roslyn Kind in Concert is only here for 4 Puerto Vallarta shows. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to hear a superbly talented performer. By her own admission, Roslyn is in show business to make her audiences happy. She definitely succeeds in doing so with her new show!

Tickets are available through the box office at Act II Entertainment, Insurgentes #300 (corner of Insurgentes and Basilio Badillo, on the south side of Vallarta) from 6:30 pm-12:30 daily. Tel. 322-158-4952. Tickets can also be purchased online from vallartatickets.com.
