Last Chance to See The Kinsey Sicks in Naked Drag Queens Singing!
A review by Debbie White

The Kinsey Sicks, America's Favorite Dragapella® Beautyshop Quartet, are celebrating their 25th anniversary as a performance group at Act II with their hilarious new show, Naked Drag Queens Singing! Don't miss the final Puerto Vallarta performances of founding member and chief writer and lyricist, Benjamin Schatz (Rachel) before he retires! Get you tickets NOW for the final performance on Saturday, March 30 at 7:30 pm in The Red Room.


Presenting both original music and lyrics as well as parodies of well-known songs, The Kinsey Sicks' award-winning a cappella singing, fabulous political satire and delightful drag have earned them rave reviews and a devoted following around the world. Having performed shows here since 2002, they have become a Puerto Vallarta favorite.

Since its beginning in the 1990's, The Kinsey Sicks have undergone several changes in members. In Naked Drag Queens Singing, in addition to Benjamin Schatz as 'Rachel,' the all-star cast includes Spencer Brown as 'Trampolina,' Jeff Manabat as 'Trixie,' and Nathan Marken as 'Winnie.'

In Tuesday's performance of 'Naked Drag Queens Singing,' we enjoyed Trixie, Trampolina and Winnie as an a cappella trio since Rachel was recovering from surgery. We heard rhyming songs with 3 part harmony and no musical accompaniment, only the beautiful and clear voices of the group. We were then given a brief history of the group and their mission to entertain, enlighten, and promote equality and understanding.

Next, they delivered some fabulous song parodies, like "No Nobel" (for Trump) to the tune of "The First Noel." There was another parody, "I Love Mexicans South of the Border" referring to the bias some have about Mexicans coming to America. "Mama Mia" was parodied as a social disease, with a funny reference to the fact that you won't hear that song at Kim Kuzma's 'Dancing Queen' show, as it is WAAYY too risqué for that!

There was also a song dedicated to Putin to the tune of "Putting on the Ritz," and a Stormy Daniel's parody to the classic "Stormy Weather." And they had us smiling and styling with "Be A Tramp" and "Everybody Loves a Drag Queen" There was a fun question and answer time with the audience, and they even dressed an audience member in drag to perform a song with them.

The final number was "Dragapella" performed to the tune of "Hallelujah." It was very inspiring. As classically trained musicians/performers, The Kinsey Sicks is all about communicating outstanding a cappella music with a message and promoting diversity and inclusion. And at the same time, they poke fun at the political absurdity that we are living with in the Trump era.

Don't miss your last chance to see Naked Drag Queens Singing! on Saturday, March 30 at 7:30 pm. All four performers will be present for the final show, so get you tickets TODAY!

This year, we are thrilled to announce that Diana, along with director Alfonso López, has created yet ANOTHER sensational hit show, "I Will Always Love You," a musical tribute to Whitney Houston! Diana, with her powerhouse voice and infectious personality, is the perfect singer to take on the iconic Whitney (her lifelong inspiration). The highlight of Diana's show last year was when she previewed some of her Whitney Houston songs, often having most audience members in tears. Diana blew the audience away, and her fans begged for a whole show of Whitney's songs!

"Run don't walk to see both [of Diana's] shows! You can then say 'I saw her when!' To see this amazing talent in such a warm and intimate setting will blow you away! Both her Motown and Beyond and her Tribute to Whitney Houston shows are unbelievable! She came in first runner up this year on The Voice of Mexico. I have no doubt she would have won if all of her US & Canadian fans had Mexican phones and were able to vote! She will be packing in huge stadiums soon... so don't miss this show!" - sgunze, on Trip Advisor 1/7/19

Her show, this year, is a loving send-up to her favorite town... Puerto Vallarta! Hedda will glamorize another season as she dishes out a tossed salad of improvisational comedy, sultry songs, and dazzling gowns. (And it's entirely fat-free!) She will gladly engage you in a night of storytelling, bawdy and biting wit, spontaneous 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. Hedda Lettuce is one of New York City's premiere drag queens and keeps the audience screaming with laughter for the entire show!

"Awesome great show. I highly recommend Hedda Lettuce, she is an amazing performer." - C Sailor, Puerto Vallarta 11/15/18

"...Hedda Lettuce was hilarious! A little of Dame Edna, a little Joan Rivers and perhaps a smidgen of Don Rickles' snarkiness, but truly, her truly, her comedy is uniquely hers - and a laugh riot!" MitziGabor, 12/16/18, TripAdvisor

"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!
