OPENING THIS WEEK AT ACT II STAGES

Jason Antone, "Classique"
Featuring Recording Artist, Jason Antone
Opening Night: Friday, February 8 - 5:00 pm
February 8, 11, 15, 18 - 5:00 pm


Act II is very excited to confirm that three-time Billboard-charting recording artist, Jason Antone, a vocalist, songwriter, and producer who makes his own club-ready dance music, will make his powerful classical crossover debut at Act II in February. His show will feature the beautiful music of Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Luis Miguel and more.

A native of Chicago and graduate of DePaul University, Antone earned a double degree in vocal studies and music management. This dual focus on the creative and business ends of the music industry eventually led him to start his own music label, Chickie Records. He released his first single, "With You," in the fall of 2006, and is currently working on his first, full-length classical crossover album, which will feature a full orchestra!

Summertime, I Got Rhythm, Nice Work If You Can Get It, S'Wonderful, Embraceable You, Someone to Watch Over Me, and many more! George Gershwin (1898-1937) was one of America's most influential music composers and pianists who worked in both classical and popular styles.

Most of his songs were written to words written by his brother, Ira Gershwin. Some of his most well-known works are Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris and Porgy and Bess, which is considered to be one of the most important American operas of the 20th century.

I Got Rhythm features beautiful harmonies, duets, solos, and mini vignettes of song and dance. Each song sparkles with pure Americana from the 20's and 30's. Come and take a step back in time as you enjoy this art-deco themed show starring Act II partner, Alfonso López, along with MaryJo Nelson, Sasha del Océano, Marsha Ward Ross, Alberto Ponce, and Andrew Sands.

After an irrefutably positive response to its preview last Spring, Act II brings back this hilarious, Off-Broadway smash hit, with its five MALE musical comedy performers! This "unholy" version features uproarious horseplay and side-splitting jokes that are performed by some of PV's finest actors, Bert Ramirez, Shawn Morgan, José Jasso, Roberto Gomez, and Al Carswell. Check out their video, #sheNUNigans, to see them parasailing, racing down the Malecon on Segways and experimenting with tequila... All in full habits! The Act II nuns are always up to something new and irreverent! Directed by Alfonso López and choreographed by Steven Retchless, "Nunsense A-Men!" is the kind of show that picks you up and shakes you around and makes you want to dance. What more could you want from a musical than passion and laughter and fun? This is a show not to be missed at Act II Stages!

"It just keeps getting better! On this trip my husband and I attended 3 shows... Nunsense, Diana Villamonte and Little Shop of Horrors. All were very different and wonderful! I am happy to see that they are expanding the number and types of shows while continuing to bring PV quality live entertainment. The service is excellent and the setting fun. Go early and listen to the music in the bar. And yes, it is for everyone... please don't feel it is only a gay venue... don't miss it!" - Connie, Long Beach, on TripAdvisor 11/16/18

Don and Rhonda Productions, (or as Danny Mininni calls them, "RHONDONDA Productions"), a staple on the Vallarta entertainment scene for more than 30 years, brings us another great show this season. Act II Entertainment constantly endeavors to bring big-stage hit musicals to its small and intimate stage. How do you bring huge, iconic musicals to the stage? You partner up with Don and Rhonda Productions, famous for bringing classic rock and the 60s genre alive! Their most recent productions were the sold out hits, California Dreamin' and last year's Woodstock '69.

"Hair" is the musical that brought rock and roll to the theatrical stage. This groundbreaking show celebrates youth, hippie counterculture, anti-war movement and sexual revolution of the 1960's with a score of unforgettable hits, including Hair, Aquarius, Easy to be Hard, and Good Morning Starshine, all of which have become part of our pop culture. This production is performed as a concert celebrating all the great music from the Broadway hit.

"HAIR is a PV Must-See! "I had the pleasure of seeing a wonderful production of Hair on Jan 25. This is PV's only totally live cast - dancers, singers and musicians. What a fun time! The arrangements were spot on and the musicianship and choreography were outstanding. Highly recommended!" - playbassatshaw on TripAdvisor

This year she is back with her raw and witty take on life, sex, relationships and living your truth. Mama Tits weaves her soulful live singing with her stories and comedy into one big joyride of a show, with a strong message of love, emotion and positive reinforcement, (not unlike her trusty underwire bra)! Jazz, blues, pop, rock and Broadway round out this year's eclectic selection of songs.

"DDD was fabulous Diva Divine Delightful. This woman can sing ...there is no lip synching happening here and her music director piano man kills it! You will feel like you had an intimate Vegas night out! The staff treats you like family with free snack appetizers in the lounge ... Mama greeted everyone after the show!
