CANCELLED: AS OF JANUARY 7, THESE SHOWS HAVE MOVED, ONCE AGAIN, TO THE SANTA BARBARA THEATER….

Liza MANelli – Tuesdays, 9 pm

On Tuesdays at 9pm, South Beach is pleased to present Liza MANelli.

The team that brought you “Bob Fosse and all that dance” brings their first drag show to life with Paul Guerrero starring as Liza. Accompanied by four energetic and talented back-up dancers, the show takes you on a roller coaster ride through the greatest hits of Liza Manelli. With a distinct style and impeccable taste Paul brings this American icon to life in a fun and exciting way yet to be seen. Coupled with the great choreography we have come to know and love from Freddy and Paul to songs such as “New York, New York”, “Some People”, “Where is the Love” and “City Lights” the audience will find a delightful, sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic, but always entertaining show. Be sure to watch for the special guests and remember, “life is a cabaret, my friend.”

Nunsense – Thursdays – 9pm

“Nunsense” is the celebrated musical comedy about the whacked-out antics of some feisty nuns from Hoboken, New Jersey, on vacation in Puerto Vallarta. When some of the sisters drown in Banderas Bay while on a banana boat ride, the surviving four nuns put on an emergency fund-raising show full of pun-punched songs and high-energy dance routines. Fabulously directed and choreographed by Freddy and Paul you will be out-of-breath from laughing and smiling.

Bums on Broadway – Fridays – 9 pm

“Bums on Broadway” features fabulous numbers from famous Broadway musicals including “Smokey Joe’s Café,” “Hairspray,” “Godspell,” “The Color Purple” and “Chicago,” just to name a few. “Bums on Broadway” is so captivating we dare you not to jump out of your seat and join the cast in their musical celebration.
