‘Greatest’ Rock in Puerto Vallarta

Whoa! Christmas is five months today! We will be bundled in sweaters and complaining about the chill in the air. Remember our summer months then with affection if you can!

Anyone watching Sharon Gerber Scherer and I play Scrabble together would think we really didn’t like each other much. Each game is such a fight to the finish, with the board getting so tight from the beginning that it’s almost impossible to move by the end. We love Scrabble!

The Greatest Show at Act2PV last night was wildly different, with a rock and roll lean – Heart was celebrated (why do we not have a tribute show to the Wilson sisters?) with Dabit playing Barracuda on his accordion with partner Alejandra knocking the high notes out of the Casa Karma Red Room. Gloria Fiona, accompanied by Maestro David Maiocco on piano, also aced Ann Wilson in Alone.

Alberto Ponce got the audience going with a resounding La Bamba, Yutzil was gorgeous, Montse, cute as can be, Cate rocked sparkly boots, Tonny K, adorable, as always, as were Act2 alumni Gaby Heart and Ximena Peña.

A spontaneous standing ovation followed Yoalli Guerrero’s solo and first appearance onstage in the Red Room. With every song, this young Vallartense brings her heart and soul onto the stage. The audience responded as one at once. The Two Davids will work magic and will present Yoalli in her own show next week. Stay tuned here for details.

Tonight, Guys and Doll at Act2 starring David Sabella, Cate Valcic with David Maiocco on piano. See you there, 7 pm.
