Two Great Shows Extended Through the Holidays

Vallarta has fallen in love with the colorful characters in the hit comedy stage production of ‘Greater Tuna’, and with the earthy sounds of Latcho & Andrea – The Blond Gypsies and their Spanish Guitars. Added dates will now extend both shows well into the new year.

‘Greater Tuna’ – With twenty characters (played by just two actors) and forty-two costume changes, Tracy Parks and Chaz Weathers, who star in the play, have had their work cut out for them in this labor of love. “It has been a dream of ours for many years to play these characters, and we are thrilled that so many people are enjoying it just as much as we are!” said Tracy Parks, who plays Aunt Pearl, along with a host of others in the production. Audiences are raving about ‘Tuna’ and reviews have been excellent, with some folks returning for a second and even a third time to see it.

greatertuna_poster_update‘Greater Tuna’ is a big comedy about a small town, small minds and big hearts. Set in the fictional, yet typical small town of Tuna, Texas, ‘where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies’, Tuna is rife with a wide-range of colorful characters and storylines. Written by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams and Ed Howard, the original production ran for more than 30 years all over the world and played two command performances for US Presidents in Washington, D.C. Due to its overwhelming popularity, ‘Greater Tuna’ is now playing through January 20th.

LATCHO_ANDREA_EXTENDED_RGBLatcho & Andrea – The Blond Gypsies have also enjoyed widespread popularity at The Palm, having appeared recently in two very successful shows, with a third scheduled on Christmas Eve at 7:00 p.m. Latcho & Andrea are European recording artists who perform Gypsy Rumba and Flamenco Guitar music. Both of German descent, their music takes influences from around the world and back through time, authentically producing the mysterious and passionate sounds of Gypsy Flamenco music. They have recorded nine albums and a DVD chronicling their long musical career. In 1996, Latcho & Andrea decided to leave Europe and relocate to Puerto Vallarta. Since then their local popularity has soared and they have been consistently performing throughout Puerto Vallarta and other parts of Mexico, the United States and Europe. Due to overwhelming demand, additional dates have been scheduled on January 5 & 26 matinees at 4:00 p.m. and February 14th at 9:30 p.m. & 28th at 7:00 p.m.
