Alex Sol, aka La Gorda, returns to Puerto Vallarta and The Palm Cabaret during Semana Santa 2015 with five performances of her new show beginning April 1 – 5 at 10pm each night (informacion en español abajo). The show includes a cast of Folkloric Ballet dancers from Mexico City that, along with Alex, will take us on a musical comedy journey through Mexico (with live vocals by La Gorda) and incredible traditional Mexican folk dances from various regions.  The combination of the hilarious Alex, in drag as La Gorda, with the traditional folkloric dancers, has already mesmerized audiences in the Mexico City area.  This is a rare chance to catch this show here in Puerto Vallarta!  Opening Night, April 1st is a special benefit show, “Se Arma La Gorda” and will benefit SETAC and the local gay community center health clinic, Capasits.

Alex Sol is an actor, director and entertainer in film, television and in nightclub venues in Mexico City and his hometown of Cuernevaca.  Alex started his career in theatre in 1985, studying in the IMSS training center and later in the Regional Institute of Fine Arts in Cuernavaca. He attended the University Cultural Center where he participated in various special theater courses covering production, direction, playwriting and acting. He has participated in about 80 theatre productions in his career.

Alex Sol has been a musical guest on several TV programs including a tribute to Enrique Alonso called “Cachirulo” and “Gateway to Bethlehem.”  In 1996, Alex was an actor in a show called “Broadway Light Show” in Cuernavaca for several seasons, and then spent three months touring with the show in Cancun, Quintana Roo and Querétaro.

In 2005, he created the character “La Gorda” and the show “La Gorda: Crazy, Funny Little Transvestite” which mixes drag artistry, clowning and theater. In Cuernavaca, Alex has entertained for nine seasons in the “Enigma Bar Show” and has given personal appearances in almost all of Mexico. In his all new show this season, ‘Cielito Lindo’, he takes his audience on a journey through several regions of Mexico, celebrating the diversity of the music, colors, and traditions through song, and folkloric ballet. La Gorda brings the charm, rhythms and the poetry of this regional music to life, showcasing the love and heartbreak of Mexico, while paying tribute to some of the greatest singers and composers of popular music.

Alex Sol has become an icon of the LGBT community in the state of Morelos and has been a political and community activist for many years. For several years Alex has been a member of the organizing committee for the “March for Sexual Diversity in Morelos ” (Gay Pride) and is often invited to make HIV prevention campaigns for the Ministry of Health.
