Renowned Broadway legend Brent Barrett brought his signature charm and exceptional talent to the Red Room stage at Act2PV this holiday season, captivating the audience with a heartwarming Christmas performance. Introduced by David Sabella as “one of the biggest stars we have ever had on the Red Room stage,” Barrett lived up to his glowing reputation, delivering an unforgettable show filled with joy, elegance, and heartfelt moments.

The Christmas morning performance began on a festive note with “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”, instantly winning over the audience with Barrett’s stage-made charisma. Between songs, Barrett shared his deep love for Christmas, connecting with the crowd through stories and humor. One particularly memorable moment came with his playful rendition of “Sugar and Booze”,  which brought laughter and energy to the room.  

Barrett’s storytelling added depth to the evening, from teaching the audience how to make Laffy Taffy to reminiscing about his “Christmas Mornings” album. The title track, written by his husband Bernie Blanks, held a special place in his heart, bringing a tender and personal touch to the performance.  In a show that was truly a rollercoaster of emotions, Barrett transitioned effortlessly between fun, tender, and romantic moments. A highlight of the night was his acknowledgment of Puerto Vallarta as a “melting pot of culture,” followed by a performance of the cheeky and inclusive “Happy Christmas Hanakwanzika”,  a unique song by Keith Thompson of Las Vegas.  

Romance filled the air as Barrett spoke about celebrating his sixth wedding anniversary with his husband, Bernie Blanks, on December 22. Together, the couple performed a stunning rendition of  “Silent Night” in German, showcasing their remarkable on-stage chemistry. The emotional journey continued with “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”,  a poignant reminder of the warmth and nostalgia of the holiday season. As the evening drew to a close, Barrett expressed heartfelt gratitude to David Sabella, the Act2PV team, and even the hardworking servers who helped make the night special.  

The grand finale was a joyous performance of “ White Christmas”, setting a magical tone before Brent Barrett invited the audience to join him in a lively sing-along of José Feliciano’s beloved “Feliz Navidad”. The energy and cheer left the crowd on a high note, perhaps planting the seed for a new pre-Christmas Eve tradition among Puerto Vallarta’s theater enthusiasts.
