Sally Mayes Lights Up Puerto Vallarta with Wit, Warmth, and Cabaret Magic

Puerto Vallarta is about to witness a cabaret legend in full force as the incomparable Sally Mayes takes the stage at Casa Karma’s Red Room at Act2PV this Saturday at 5 PM and Monday at 7 PM. A Broadway and cabaret icon, Mayes delivers an exhilarating, laugh-out-loud, and deeply heartfelt performance that reminds us why she remains one of the most magnetic forces in the business.

From the moment she steps on stage, Sally owns the room with her signature mix of Texas charm and sharp New York wit. She kicks off the evening with a chat about the weather—because, let’s face it, escaping the cold of NYC for Puerto Vallarta is something to celebrate. And just when you think it’s all small talk, she launches into a powerhouse rendition of “The Best Is Yet to Come,” proving that her voice is as electrifying as ever.

But Sally Mayes is more than just a phenomenal singer—she’s a masterful storyteller. She takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions, sharing anecdotes from her career, near-miss moments (including almost quitting cabaret!), and the unexpected places where the best songs are found—like a country fair or an old library. She even throws in a nod to her Texas roots with a country-western set that has the audience tapping their feet.

A highlight of the night? There were so many! If I had to choose, her performance of a song arranged by the brilliant Mark Hartman was truly unforgettable. But I don’t want to ruin it for you—you’ll have to watch the show to find out which one it was!

And then, just when the show feels like it couldn’t get any better—it does. Sally turns up the humor with a hysterical number about Viagra in the water, leaving the audience in stitches. Her timing is impeccable, her energy infectious, and her ability to balance comedy with deeply personal moments is nothing short of genius.

Fashion-wise, Mayes dazzles in a stunning blue ensemble, sparkling high boots, a long-collared jacket, dramatic lashes à la Betty Boop, and those shining, expressive eyes that pull you into every note she sings.

As the night builds to its finale, Sally shares a song that has followed her throughout her career: “Mrs. Bird is Singing”—a perfect closing number that encapsulates the heart, humor, and undeniable talent that define her artistry.

This show is a must-see for anyone who loves cabaret, Broadway, or just a damn good night out. It’s a masterclass in storytelling, vocal artistry, and pure entertainment.

Don’t miss Sally Mayes live in Puerto Vallarta!
