Continuing This Month at Act II

"Legends of The 50's and 60's"
Starring Paul Fracassi
Every Friday at 5:00 pm

Paul Fracassi returns to Act II Entertainment with his hit show, Legends of The 50's and 60's! at a new 5:00 pm time. One of the most popular and talented artists at Act II Stages, Paul Fracassi is the consummate performer. He bounds onto the stage and effortlessly reaches soaring high notes that send chills and thrills to his audience. He has added new excitement to his shows with backup singers and Vegas-style costumes that truly complement his engaging delivery.

This "Jersey Kid" from Toronto, Canada, managed to create a big fuss up in Canada as a finalist in "Canadian Idol." Shortly thereafter, he created a "big fuss" in Puerto Vallarta, too, as we fell in love with this wonderful, new singing sensation! Legends of The 50's And 60's is a stunning tribute to some of his favorite singers, including Elvis Presley, Frankie Valli, Frank Sinatra, Davy Jones, Buddy Holly, Bobby Darin and more. You will definitely want to sing along to this memorable music!

"Legends Of Mexico" Opens to Best Reviews!
Starring Puerto Vallarta's very own legend, Elviz Martinez
Every Saturday, starting January 14 at 5:00 pm


Act II is very excited to present singer and entertainer, Elviz Martinez! A sexy singer, and the best music of Mexico... What more could you ask for?

Elviz Martinez is now in his fourth season in Puerto Vallarta. His show is produced by the one-and-only Alfonso Lopez, and will feature the all-live Legends Band! As a local Puerto Vallarta entertainer, there is a great deal of interest and appreciation for this talented singer and performer. In fact, Elvis presented his first show last season to a sold out, standing-room only audience! Elviz is excited to present the Legends of Mexican music from the past 75 years, with music by Juan Gabriel, Jose Jose, Luis Miguel, Augustine Lara, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Javier Solis, Jorge Negrete and more.

"...Elviz Martinez, grabbed the audience from the start through the finish. A standing ovation, proved to be incredible show, not to miss." - Shani Rosen

"Elvis Show! Highly recommend! I just went to Elvis show and was totally surprised about his amazing voice and interpretations from best singers of Mexican music. He's super charming and you'll fall in love with his voice!" - 5 stars on Trip Advisor

Alison Arngrim, a.k.a. 'Nellie Olson' from Little House On The Prairie, Stars In "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch"

"Confessions of a Prairie Bitch"
Starring Alison Arngrim
January 19, 24, 26, 28, 31 at 7:30 pm

Who is Alison Arngrim? Alison is the girl you loved to hate when you were a kid! Remember that incredibly nasty, blond-haired Nellie Olson on the much loved, long-running TV series, Little House on the Prairie? Well, "Little Nellie" (Alison Arngrim) has grown up and become a stand-up comedienne and amuses audiences all over the world with her unexpected, wicked humor!

Now, Act II is honored and excited to welcome Alison Arngrim to its stage in her outrageously funny comedy show, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch! You can count on her to startle you with her off-color jokes, her "insider" stories about Little House on the Prairie, and her poking fun and gossiping about her fellow "kiddie stars" and other celebrities! Trust us, this show is one-of-a-kind and you don't want to miss it! Get your tickets now at act2pv.com.

"Queens Against Humanity" - A Drag Show for 'Horrible People'
Starring Sutton Lee Seymour
Every Saturday at 9:30 pm


Sutton Lee Seymour returns to the Act II Stage with a brand new show called "Queens Against Humanity," an interactive comedy show based on the hilarious game, Cards Against Humanity! Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as "despicable and awkward as you and your friends." The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card. Sutton Lee Seymour (in her inimitable style), joins us from a successful run in New York, and will lead the audience through this hilarious game with a number of gut-busting celebrity impersonations, character assassinations, and risque humor! Last season, Sutton Lee Seymour, known as "The Queen of Broadway," became an overnight sensation in Vallarta with her show, "The Way Off Broad." Her incredible energy, vocal prowess, and perfect comedic timing catapulted her into a Headline Act at Act II Stages. We know you are going to LOVE what she has in store for us with her brand-new show this season!

"The 39 Steps" A Classic Hitchcock Thriller
4 Actors, 130 Characters in 100 Minutes
January 21, 24, 25, 28, 31 at 7:00 pm

Alfred Hitchcock's classic spy thriller, The 39 Steps, is brilliantly and hilariously recreated for the stage as the smash-hit, winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 2007. The 39 Steps follows the incredible adventures of its handsome hero, Richard Hannay, an Englishman, complete with stiff-upper-lip, British gung-ho, and pencil moustache. Laugh along as he encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women. Directed by Allen McMullen, this wonderfully-inventive and gripping comedy thriller features four fearless actors, playing 139 roles in 100 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action. In Patrick Barlow's adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 thriller, a cast of four actors - PV's Alfonso Lopez, Maria Rose, Kami Desilets and Gabe Arciniega - portrays every hero, villain, spy, and love interest from Simon Corble's novel, to farcical effect. (Directed by Allen McMullen)

Different Show Each Night!

Hedda Lettuce, six-time Drag Queen of the Year Award-winner (HX magazine) and the legendary "green goddess" of drag, will glamorize another winter in Puerto Vallarta as she dishes out a tossed salad of improvisational comedy, sultry songs, and dazzling gowns. And it's entirely fat-free! She tosses out a night of storytelling, ribald stand-up comedy, and live (not lip-synched) singing. Her show includes her nationally-acclaimed original comedic music that is peppered with parodies of old time favorites and startling satire. Expect a night of side-splitting laughter from Hedda Lettuce, one of NYC's premiere drag queens.

"Fame-Ish" The Best Show Ever in the History of Everything

It's a fast-paced, mad-cap romp through Broadway, Disney, and Hollywood, featuring songs from Wicked, Les Miserables, Chicago, and by Britney Spears, Cher, Madonna & Celine Dion.
