Puerto Vallarta The Kinsey Sicks will be performing almost everyday until the 23 of January at The Palm Puerto Vallarta on Street Olas Altas 508. This wonderful group began in 1993 when a group of five friends (largely lawyers and professional activists) went to a Bette Midler concert in San Francisco, dressed as the Andrews Sisters. Assuming they’d be among many drag queens, they found themselves to be the only ones. They were approached that night by a woman who asked them to perform at her upcoming 50th birthday party. Though their initial reply was, “we don’t sing,” the group was surprised to learn that all of them had previous musical experience.[2]
In July 1994, The Kinsey Sicks (then consisting of Ben Schatz as “Rachel”, Irwin Keller as “Winnie”, Maurice Kelly as “Trixie”, Jerry Friedman as “Vaselina”, and Abatto Avilez as “Begoña”) drew a large and enthusiastic crowd at their first public performance on a street corner in San Francisco’s Castro District.[2] A year later, Avilez died, and was never replaced, leaving the Kinsey Sicks as a quartet (a formation that has remained consistent ever since.) Since then, The Kinsey Sicks have produced and performed full-length theatrical productions and concerts around the country. The group eventually became successful enough for its members to leave their former occupations to concentrate on performance. Spring break 2013.
