Gary Beck and I discuss the Entertainment Scene in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Subscribe on iTunes & Leave a Good Review     Listen to The Podcast   Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be to introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The El [caption id="attachment_194" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into The Vista Grill. That’s The Vista Grill that used to be up on the hill overlooking the city?  Well now it has a new vista and that is right on the beach where you get the same Vista Grill Menu, and the fantastic Vista Grill service and it’s right there on the beach with a dramatic view of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course at La Palapa you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. ! It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! Today we have a special show but first, what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 22nd of August, 2017. The Ocean Grill Closed Down By Authorities Last week I talked about taking a hike from Boca de Tomatlan to Las Animas Beach. Remember? And in that podcast we talked about the famous Ocean Grill built into the cliffs at Colomitos Cove. Well, if latest my podcast has spurred you to give the Ocean Grill a try, hold everything boys and girls, stop the presses, the restaurant has been temporarily shut down by the authorities. Mexico’s equivalent of the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, has put an end to their operation. There are lots of stories swirling around, I have a link to an article written about the closure which you can find in the show notes of this podcast. Hey, listen, I have some information from pretty solid sources as  to what's going on, but for now, I just want you to know that if you currently have a reservation for the Ocean Grill, it will not be honored. They won’t send a panga to Boca de Tomatlan to pick you up and whisk you to Colomitos Cove and the Ocean Grill. They are shuttered at least until further notice.  http://www.elsoldenayarit.mx/cultura/54509-clausura-profepa-obras-e-instalaciones-del-complejo-turistico-ocean-grill-en-jalisco Upcoming Hotel and Resort Reviews One of my friends, Pamela, who lives in Lake Chapala just spent some time at the Garza Blanca Resort just south of Puerto Vallarta and I want to find out what she and her husband thought of the place. But more than that, Pamela is going to talk a little about her timeshares she owns and about the properties in Puerto Vallarta and along the Bajia de Banderas. I would consider Pam to be a luxury traveler. You remember, in the first episode I promised that this show was for the economy as well as the luxury traveler, well this episode will be for you. Imagine if you will, living just 6 hours’ drive from Puerto Vallarta like Pamela, that’s like me driving from LA to San Francisco. Well, that’s what Pamela needs to do to get to Puerto Vallarta. Pretty cool, right? How often would you hit PV a year if you could just hop in the car and drive there? What like, once a month? Well Pamela knows lots of great restaurants all along the bay, and more so stay tuned. Man killed by Crocodile in Ameca River, Puerto Vallarta Remember when me and JR talked about the crocodiles that live in Puerto Vallarta? Well, check out this article from yesterday’s Vallarta Daily.com.. The State Civil Protection and Fire Department of Jalisco confirms that a man in Puerto Vallarta was attacked by a crocodile in the Ameca River while fishing and was found dead. The man was identified as Gerardo Alvarez, 30, Corporal with the 41 Military Zone, who at the time was fishing in the river, located in the municipality of Puerto Vallarta. The report was received on Saturday when the search for the missing man began in the river, but the search was discontinued in the evening. Sunday morning the search was continued at 8:00 AM with the body being recovered at 9:44 AM in the Bay. The exact cause of death and injuries is still being investigated, however experts in crocodiles believe the man was fishing along the banks of the river with his feet inside the water. The crocodile, defending his territory, grabbed the man by his feet and dragged him into the river. The body showed signs of bites from the attack. Okay, so the Ameca river is the river that separates the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. It’s just north of the airport. You can see the crockodiles sometimes just lying there on the sandbars as you drive over the bridge, and there’s signs posted everywhere so heed the warning signs folks. Now crocodiles are actually seen regularly in the Marina, on golf courses. They are around so be aware. I have a link to the article in the show notes to this episode so check it out if you wish. https://www.vallartadaily.com/news/puerto-vallarta/crocodile-attack/   I received a couple of notes and letters and one great review on iTunes this week. The iTunes review is from Leaningoak from somewhere in the USA writes…. Excellent listen for travelers to paradise aka Puerto Vallarta in iTunes by Leaningoak from USA on August 14, 2017 Listening to Barry’s podcast has become very addictive. Before my last trip to paradise aka Puerto Vallarta earlier this year I discovered this absolutely essential listen for travelers to Mexico’s most popular tourist destination. And since returning home I continue to listen each week carefully noting travel tips for my next vacation. I would love to meet Barry in person but for now the world has this excellent podcast to keep us up to date and informed. The podcast has introduced us to J.R. of VallartaInfo.com who has lived in Puerto Vallarta for almost 40 years. We have gotten to hear from full time resident and restaurant reviewer Gary Beck. And then there’s an episode with Gary Thompson, owner of Galeria Pacifico, who graciously donates his time to do free walking tours along the Malecon. All excellent listening and soo much more. Thank you Barry for PuertoVallartaTravelShow.com and your podcasts! Thank you Leaning. I would love to meet with you too sometime in paradise. Let me know the next time you’re planning on coming down and if I’m in town, why not? Last time I was in town I had a meet and greet open mic event at Kelly’s Pour Favor Saloon and Cookhouse and we had a pretty good showing, problem was, some of my interviewees were a little bit sloshed. I mean, some of the interviews were actually pretty good, and I have some of those coming in the next few weeks to come, but man, I listened to some of the interviews and I just can’t use a whole bunch of them. I mean… well, it is a family show. Plus, I’m just not quick enough with the beeper to keep us rated as clean in iTunes. Just saying. Anyway Leaning Oak, we need to have a beer or a Paloma. Oh, I gotta tell you about Palomas but before I get off the subject, I just want you know Leaningoak from the USA, that these reviews keep me going. So Thanks by all means, all of you, and keep them coming in. Please. Okay, back to Palomas. In the interview I had with Jeff Bassett from Sun Sport Travel, Two weeks ago, oh by the way, Jeff wanted me to let all of [caption id="attachment_1384" align="alignright" width="300"] Amy Armstrong, The Palm Cabaret[/caption] you know that he is now full time in the travel agency business, so check out the links again to Sun Sport Travel on my links page. Anyhoo we talked with Jeff about fun in the summer sun.  Jeff and I were going back and forth about Palomas, Jeff saying that he was told that the true margarita was a Paloma, made with tequila, lime and squirt, and I laughed at him. Well, I got an email from my buddy Skip, from Minnisocold, we and Skip says this…. Like Jeff, I like the Paloma (Dove) as opposed to the Margarita (Daisy).  Palomas are less sweet and syrupy to my palate and I like the grapefruit taste. I make them with 4 parts Tequila, 1 part Lime Juice and add ice and either Squirt (Grapefruit soda) or Fresca (the sugar free stuff) to taste. Now I had to look up The Daisy and it’s made as  follows… INGREDIENTS 45mls of tequila 15mls triple sec [caption id="attachment_1363" align="alignright" width="198"] Incanto Puerto Vallarta[/caption] 30mls lime juice 15mls sugar syrup 15mls lemon juice 5mls orange juice Guava soda water   All right then, Who knew, but here’s how I was always taught a margarita was made. [caption id="attachment_1365" align="alignright" width="198"] Incanto Puerto Vallarta[/caption] Ingredients Lime wedge, plus 2 lime wheels for garnish 1 tablespoon coarse salt, for glass rims 4 ounces high quality blanco tequila (see note above) 2 ounces Cointreau 1 1/2 ounces fresh juice from 2 limes Directions Run lime wedge around the outer rims of two rocks glasses and dip rims in salt. Set aside. In cocktail shaker, combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled, about 15 seconds (the bottom of a metal shaker should frost over). Fill glasses with fresh ice and strain margarita into both glasses. Garnish with lime wheels and serve. I really like Skip, He’s my kind of guy. We’ve been emailing back and forth. He wanted to know the best places to buy alcohol in PV and maybe in an upcoming episode, I’ll give you all the great tips for stocking up on alcohol for your extended stay in paradise. I mean, what kind of fun do you expect to have if your liver isn’t properly pickled in Paradise Pal? Really!

Gary is a wealth of knowledge and I asked to let me interview him again so we could talk about the entertainment scene in Puerto Vallarta.     So we sat down back in May and talked about the different venues as well as the shows from the previous year. One of the busiest places we [caption id="attachment_1366" align="alignright" width="340"] Danny Mininni[/caption] talked about was Act II Stages and The Red room cabaret, and I thought before we get into the conversation with Gary, I would bring on Danny Mininni, the head honcho at Act II to talk about what’s in store for the rest of the summer season. So let’s go to Puerto Vallarta and talk with Danny… [caption id="attachment_1362" align="alignnone" width="692"] Supermana[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1361" align="alignright" width="691"] Christine Deaver[/caption] Listen to The Interview   [caption id="attachment_1364" align="alignleft" width="213"] Salvatore Rodriguez[/caption] Also, before we get into Gary’s interview I want to introduce you to Salvatore Rodriguez.

Harvey Fierstein's 2014 play "Casa Valentina" told the story of one weekend in 1962 at an upstate New York resort for cross-dressers, and was based on a real place, long since closed. I visited a NYC-based center for cross-dressers to ask members how much they think things have changed for them between 1962 and today.

On today's show, I talk to Tony Award-nominated actor Reed Birney. For most of his career, Reed was a journeyman actor, but that all changed in 2008 when he starred in the OBIE Award-winning Sarah Kane play Blasted at the Soho Rep. Since then he's performed in a number of on and off Broadway plays and received a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award for his performance in Harvey Fierstein's play Casa Valentina. Reed also plays Donald Blythe on the hit Netflix series House of Cards.This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter.

TheaterTalk has writer/performer Harvey Fierstein discussing his intriguing new play on Broadway, "Casa Valentina," based on the true story of a vacation retreat in the 1960’s Catskills where straight men went to dress and live as women.

Nominations for the 68th annual Tony Awards were announced Tuesday, with tough competition in several categories. For instance, Tyne Daly, Cherry Jones and Audra McDonald are among the nominees for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play; Sutton Foster, Idina Menzel and Kelly O'Hara are all nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical.  Leading the nominations list is the musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, which earned 10 Tony nods. Hedwig and the Angry Inch staring Neil Patrick Harris, is next with eight nominations. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood suggests some likely winners, considers who got snubbed and takes note of the Broadway season as reflected in the nominees list. The Tony Awards will be given out on June 8 at Radio City Music Hall in a ceremony hosted by Hugh Jackman and broadcast on CBS.
