Located within easy walking distance from Resorts by Pinnacle, the only Romantic Zone luxury accommodations in Puerto Vallarta, is the city’s premier live theatre complex: Act II Entertainment Stages. The week launched the theatre’s most ambitious stage production to date, with the opening of the award-winning musical, Avenue Q. One of the longest-running shows on Broadway, Avenue Q won three Tony awards including Best Musical and spawned Las Vegas and West End productions, two national tours, and a variety of international productions, which now include Puerto Vallarta.
Featuring incredible local talent, the musical is unique as the cast consists of three human characters and eleven puppet characters who interact as if human, Sesame Street-style. The puppets are animated and voiced by actor/puppeteers who are present, unconcealed, onstage but remain “invisible” relative to the storyline. The puppets and human characters completely ignore the puppeteers, and the audience is expected to do the same.
The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. It should be noted that although puppets are used in the production, it is definitely adult-themed content, not appropriate for children.
For those interested in experiencing Avenue Q, running through Spring 2017, or other tours and activities in Puerto Vallarta, it is recommended to speak to the Resorts by Pinnacle concierge for ticket information.
