    Miss Conception A MUST SEE
    Saw Miss Conception last week while in PV. Loved every second of her show. She is a whiz at changing her appearance multiple times right in front of your eyes. She has an amazing voice, and spends most of the show actually singing as opposed to lip-synching. She’s hysterically funny and entertaining and really knows how to work the crowd. Her two backup artists were so cute and funny as well. The theater is very comfortable and there really isn’t a bad seat there. It was a really nice space and the service was excellent. It was our first time seeing a show at this venue and would be happy to go back next time we are in Puerto Vallarta.

    THE PALM DOES IT AGAIN WITH DUELING DRAG DIVAS,
    RUN TO SEE DUELING DRAG DIVAS! Only TWO more shows! Chi Chi Rones and Joanna are longtime favorites of the Puerto Vallarta theater scene with brand new shows every year! Last night’s show was terrific! Favorites such as Cher, Judy Garland, and Madonna showed up and the audience cheered! If you love great talent and laughter….get your tickets to DDDs now! Thank you Mark Rome for making my night extra special 😘

    THE PALM CABARET delivers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Always great entertainment here. The front of the house staff does an incredible job orchestrating ticket sales and dealing with seating 3 shows per day. The service staff inside work just as hard keeping beverage needs attended to. The owner, Mark Rome-has created and maintained a venue that remains consistent with top notch entertainment and service year after year. Thank you!

    The Beyonce show is AMAZING!
    Awesome Beyonce show! We went to a show on Thursday night to see this show and it was amazing! Cecile, the performer, is great at her craft. She and her dancers put on a fantastic show. The production is amazing. The show was longer than I expected and I actually felt like we didn't pay enough! Worth every penny and more!

    Miss Conception Delivers Comedy Gold!!
    No trip to Puerto Vallarta would be complete without a couple nights at The Palm Cabaret. There are plenty of top quality acts/performances to see and the staff are phenomenal! Make sure to check out and support the many fabulous drag acts. Drinks are reasonably priced and delicious. The seating is comfortable and the lighting and sound is incredible. Make sure to check out Miss Conception and book a ticket early, as the show often sells out quickly due to high demand for tickets.

    Great show at the Palm!
    One of our favorite venues in Puerto Vallarta. We never miss a Sutton Lee Seymore show and he delivered spectacularly. Added bonus - he was accompanied by Mark Hartman. Another performer we never miss iin PV.

    Great performance - highly recommend
    Went and saw Guts and Glitter starting Mama Tits and had an absolute blast. The venue was intimate, the drinks were tasty, and Mama’s performance was excellent! Highly recommend catching her show to make your trip to PV a memorable experience.

    Phenomenal
    Miss Butterfly was wonderful. Saw her last year and brought another friend to see her this year. Will also be seeing Hedda lettuce and the Adele Tribute. The talent that is in PV and comes to PV to perform their shows is superb. I have been coming here for about 8 years and it is like my second home. Love the Palm and all it offers💙💙💙

One of our favorite things about Vallarta is the wonderful array of entertainment options beyond bars. We love the Palm - a wonderfully intimate theatre that doesn't have a bad seat. And they have a great lineup of performers. These include some incredibly talented drag queens who sing in their own fantastic voices rather than lip synching. We also love seeing many of the same performers, who return with new shows each year. Toronto's own Miss Conception, who regularly sells out here, presents a greatest hits show to mark her 25 years of drag, with 25 amazing costume changes in a one-hour show, including playing all the characters in the Wizard of Oz, along with other greats from movies and TV, including Lucille Ball, Jessica Rabbit and villains from Disney movies. Sutton Lee Seymour is presenting Witch Please, a fantastic show with a Wicked/Wizard of Oz theme and includes some beautiful backup dancers from the troupe Boys on Fire, who perform at Coco's Cabaret this season and are also recommended. Sutton Lee outdid herself this year, with impressive videos and costumes and she's also a great singer. We also loved Evita Loca, who does phenomenal vocal impressions of Broadway and movie greats, including Patti Lupone, Eartha Kitt, Julie Andrews, Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland and Elaine Stritch. Evita (sorry, I don't know the name of the guy playing her) has truly impressive vocal chops (he toured in the Jersey Boys) and a great sense of humor in his interactions with the audience. He did an amazing rendition of the tune The Ladies who Lunch, switching voices every few seconds and showing pictures of who he's imitating on a screen. Every drag queen does Cher, but Evita has one of the most hilariously accurate impressions I've heard. Delta Myles has a wonderfully intimate tribute to Judy Garland that we loved. Delta really gets the mannerisms and style down pat, and performs some of her classics, including Man that Got Away and Over the Rainbow. A truly impressive singing voice with just the right amount of Judy vibrato. Highly recommended. The ticket prices for the entertainment offered at the Palm are very reasonable, and they serve drinks during the show as well. We don't do alcohol, but the chocolate smoothies are delicious. Thanks to the Palm and wait staff for another memorable year.

Sutton Lee Seymour at the Palms Cabaret - When we spend time in Puerto Vallarta we always enjoy seeing a show before dinner or a night out. Last night we saw Sutton's new show “Broadway Barbie” and it did not disappoint. Sutton is a true professional and an amazing talent.

The show is worth every peso and I would highly recommend it to anyone who asks…and some that don’t!

My partner and I went to the Palm for drinks on a Friday night and was greeted by Judy who was ever so kind to us giving us recommendations and making us laugh. A very kind woman. We enjoyed a night at the Coco Cabaret for the Lady Gaga impersonator show which was phenomenal and so impressive. We came back to the Palm on a Tuesday for the “Witch, Pls!” Show by Sutton Lee Seymour which was such a great laugh. This was our fav show. The singing, acting and jokes were so incredible I highly recommend this show to anyone in the area. I think The Palm is an essential in PV and you should not miss out to see their shows.

Palm Cabaret's Abba Tribute: A Disappointing Experience

The recent Abba tribute show at the Palm Cabaret in Puerto Vallarta fell significantly short of expectations. While the venue itself offers a lively atmosphere for other performances, this particular tribute was plagued by several shortcomings.

Instrumental Domination: The lead vocals were consistently overpowered by the instrumental musicians. This resulted in a muddled sound where the singers were difficult to hear and appreciate.

Distracting Balancing Act: A constant balancing act throughout the show proved to be a major distraction. The performer's frequent adjustments were jarring and detracted from the musical performance.
Lackluster Tribute: The overall presentation lacked the energy and polish expected from a tribute act. It failed to capture the essence and iconic sound of Abba, leaving much to be desired.

High Expectations, Low Delivery
Having enjoyed other shows at the Palm Cabaret, such as the Freddie Mercury and Lady Gaga tributes, I was particularly disappointed by this Abba performance. These previous shows showcased strong musicianship and a clear dedication to capturing the spirit of the original artists. Unfortunately, the Abba tribute failed to meet this standard.

A Costly Disappointment
At a price of $75 USD, this show felt overpriced considering the quality of the performance. The significant shortcomings overshadowed the overall experience, leaving a sense of disappointment and a feeling that the money could have been better spent elsewhere.

Recommendation:
While the Palm Cabaret offers a variety of entertaining shows, I would advise potential attendees to exercise caution when considering the Abba tribute. Based on my experience, it may not live up to the expectations set by other performances at the venue.

Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars

Simply the best!
Miss Conception is the ultimate connoisseur in the art of drag, whose energy and talent knows no bounds! Her opening night, 25th anniversary performance blew me away. 25 costume changes! 25 different characters! Don’t sit too close to the stage or you might be up there dancing in a costume and wig yourself! It happened to my husband a couple of years ago and to this day, every time I think about it, I laugh out loud. It’s a lasting memory. Get ready to party with Miss Conception, a remarkable illusionist, singer, dancer, storyteller, comedian, drag queen who gives 200% ❤️ A must see!

Just back from our annual trek to Puerto Vallarta and no trip is ever complete without a visit to The Palm. Two acts that always seem to sell out and pack the house are Miss Conception and Sutton Lee Seymore and both put on incredible stage shows every time. Big props to staff of The Palm who handled a ticket glitch in their system in a timely professional manner and ensured our group of 5 did get in to see a show we had booked. And a shout out to Eve on the main desk at door who is a great asset to the business and greets everyone with smile. In meantime if you want to see shows here be sure to prebook especially Miss Conception and Sutton Lee.....2 incredible acts that have dedicated a lifetime to creating a great show for the audience every time.

Delighted to have had my first trip of the year be to sunny Puerto Vallarta and to stay right around the corner from the Palm with a good friend. While there, we made a point of seeing who was in town and were sure to grab tickets for Sutton Lee Seymour's and Tina Burner's shows (definitely buy tickets in advance - the shows sell out, and the waitlist is a hard one to clear).

The thing that impresses me most about a drag show are the smarts - and each of these shows reflected not JUST a lottt of thought and planning in advance, but two incredibly talented queens who think so, so quickly on the spot. This was my first time seeing Sutton in PVR, whose show this year focuses on the Wizard of Oz and Wicked, and she happened to call on an audience member who just happened to be called Glenda - trust, this was all just by chance! - and the off-the-cuff jokes didn't stop coming. Sutton also pulled me on stage at one point and asked me to do a kick ball change -- and I confess I didn't know what that was and pantomimed something else instead -- and she took my guess and ran with it, jokes all the way. Sutton's and Tina's interactions with the audience are just so, so good.

Without spoiling the content of either show, both reflect a ton of research; Sutton goes deep into the world of Oz and Tina into Hollywood, both with a lot of background and context I hadn't known. Lots of great, well-timed jokes, and amazing surprises. They are both so clever, so creative, and genuinely just wonderful people, also making tons of time after the show to talk and take pictures.

It was such a joy to see them both and both of their incredible shows. The staff at the venue, too, from the front door to cocktail servers and beyond were also super kind. All in all, two great nights out we'll remember for a long time. Thank you Sutton, Tina, and the Palm!

If there is one thing to do in Puerto Vallarta, it is to see the "miss Conception 25th Anniversary show" at the Palm. I first saw miss c 14 years ago at her first show and thought she was magnificent. Using her own voice she has a range from the softest ballad "frozen" to making the floor boards rattle in "dude looks like a lady!" Miss c for this show brings out all of her best. In nine minutes flat she explores the entire "wizard of oz" movie. With her signature wit and charm, miss c doesn't miss a beat. Give a sideways glance in the audience and miss c will pic up on it and have you rolling in the aisle. From there it is a 90 minute journey of an emotional roller coaster. Highlights include "over the rainbow", "Mrs doubtfire" and the beautiful rendition of "seasons of love" where there isn't a dry eye in the house. 25 costume changes done on stage, as though she just jumps and lands as a new and loving character. She is beautiful as a Disney villain "Ursula"voluptuous as "jessica rabbit" and hysterical as "Kathy bates" from misery. Best part of the show is the end where she strips off her costume, removes all her make up and dawns jeans and a t-shirt only to introduce herself as "kevin". The thundering standing ovation that must have gone on for 5 minutes leaves the performer humble and gracious. I will forever be a fan.

We saw Miss Conception's Tooned Out show Monday night and it was amazing! From beginning to end it was filled with laughter, live singing and more costume changes than Cher! Each change was made in a creative, unique reveal fashion. Her ad libs were quick, witty and fun. The theater is a great, cozy venue with a fantastic staff. If you're in PV, I highly recommend seeing a show at The Palm, especially Miss Conception. She never disappoints, especially as Jessica Rabbit, my favorite cartoon character!

The shows here are always first rate and the staff does a great job to ensure you are enjoying yourself. There was a slight mishap when buying tickets at the Farmers Market this past weekend. They inadvertently sold us tickets for a show that was the wrong date. Management and staff quickly rectified the situation and made sure we were happy. We have been to several shows over the last several years at this venue and highly recommend. It is always our first "go to" when looking for entertainment during our visits to PV.
