A month or so ago, right after his 2025-26 opening of his show at The Palm Cabaret, I asked Roy Cruz if, after five years, he was getting tired or bored with Freddie Mercury and the music of Queen in his twice-weekly shows. He said, ”The more I research him and his life, the more…
Musical Dreams is the accumulation of months and months of work by students of Sebastian Coronel and Chris Lopez. About 35 students began the program in June, following the last show of the season at Coco Cabaret. Classes took place twice a week for two hours and stretched over four months. I popped into one…
Opening Night(s) Week is behind us for the start of the 2026 Season. All I can say to that is, WHEW! We have a minute or two, like a couple of days to breathe and remember what it’s like to try and be in two places at once. After a four-and-a-half-month break, it is nothing…
There is something endearing about Elton John and his music. He is wonderfully weird and complicated, but under the layers of bejeweled eyeglasses, sequins, and feathers, I believe, is a kind and loving man.

Stepping right back onto the sand at El Solar, Sandra Bradley and I, snifters of mezcal in hand, made a beeline for a small clump of gorgeous men – Sebastian Coronel, Alejandro Barron Ortiz, and Daniel Celis. Dani’s show, a spectacular tribute to Elton John, ”The Rocketman Concert,” opens The Palm Cabaret‘s 26th season, at…
The weekend flew by on top of expectations of rain and storms, and nothing happened. Lots of people are champing at the bit for Season to hurry up. We are impatiently tapping our toes and planning outdoor renovations that won’t be altered by a massive storm or, god forbid, a hurricane. It’s early to assume…
Scrabble and doggie Bingo today, but first a look at what’s coming up at The Palm and Coco Cabarets, starting next month. I sat down with Mark Rome, who oversees scheduling for both entertainment venues, over smoothies at the Vallarta Factory. It would be a nightmare job for most people and sometimes for Mark when…
