There are tribute shows.
And then there are performances that feel like a conversation across time.
Amy Winehouse Forever is the second kind.
This new production reimagines what it might feel like if Amy’s jazz roots, soul instincts, and retro hip-hop edge were still unfolding live in front of us today. It’s not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s atmosphere. Emotion. Presence.
And at the center of it all is a rising young voice Puerto Vallarta audiences already recognize.
Meet Patriz — a local stage discovery with a serious future
Leading the show is Patriz, a 20-year-old jazz vocalist originally from Vancouver who found her very first stage right here in Puerto Vallarta at just sixteen years old.
That matters.
Because Puerto Vallarta has quietly become a proving ground for performers who are developing real theatrical careers while still deeply connected to the local community.
Audiences may already know her from standout appearances in:
✦ Bring On The Blues
✦ Essence & Attitude: Motown Review
✦ And her newest casting as the lead in the West End Version of Evita at Coco Cabaret
This new production places her directly inside one of the most emotionally demanding songbooks in modern soul history.
And she handles it with confidence.
Instead of imitation, Patriz delivers something rarer.
She channels Amy’s emotional language while keeping her own voice fully intact.
The result feels hauntingly familiar and completely personal at the same time.
A trio that brings the sound fully to life
Supporting the performance are Jason Mathis and Depris Price, whose presence adds both vocal strength and visual rhythm to the stage.
Together they provide:
✦ tight harmonies
✦ dynamic movement
✦ layered stage energy
✦ and the grounding structure behind Amy’s signature sound
They are not background decoration.
They are part of the engine that drives the show forward.
Their choreography, phrasing, and musical interaction help recreate the texture audiences expect from Amy’s iconic arrangements while keeping the production fresh and alive.
More than a tribute — a full immersion into Amy’s world
Produced by Selena Luna Productions, Amy Winehouse Forever leans into the jazz-club intimacy and emotional honesty that made Amy Winehouse one of the most original artists of her generation.
This isn’t a costume tribute.
It’s a mood piece.
A musical environment.
An evening built around tone, storytelling, and the feeling that comes from hearing songs that never really left us.
For Puerto Vallarta audiences, it’s also another example of how the city continues to support emerging performers stepping into major roles earlier than they might anywhere else.
And that’s part of what makes the local stage scene here so exciting right now.
