Winner of more than 125 international awards, the world's second longest-running musical ever, Les Miserables arrives at Teatro Renault, in Sao Paulo. Based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, the show, in contrast to 19th-century France, tells an enthralling story of dreams, love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testimony of the survival of the human spirit.

Baritone Paulo Szot plays Henry Higgins and Daniele Nastri is Eliza Doolittle in MY FAIR LADY with Jorge Takla directing.

Regarded as one of most popular musicals of all time, the classic My Fair Lady turns 60 and receives this month a new theatrical production signed by the Director Jorge Takla. With a great cast and live orchestra, the show - based on the classic Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw - tells the story of an aristocrat teacher, Mr. Henry Higgins, who takes up the challenge to transform the poor Eliza Doolittle, street vendor without any refinement, in a society lady. With luxurious scenery and costumes, the show will have place at the Santander Theatre, in Sao Paulo, between August 27 and November 6, 2016.

Collecting premieres around the world since 1971, when it reached Broadway, the classical musical comedy by Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak, based on the parables of the Gospel of St. Matthew, is back to Sao Paulo with a new look, directed by Dagoberto Feliz

Numa cerimonia de altissimo nivel que não ficou devendo em nada ao Premio Tony, foi realizada nesta terca feira, no Teatro Alfa a segunda edicão do Premio Reverencia, celebrando o teatro musical brasileiro.

We Will Rock You (often abbreviated as WWRY) is a musical based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton. The musical tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought, fashion, and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same. Musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown.

With a young, cohesive and full of energy cast, the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar gets a revival in São Paulo, in a version with high levels of emotion, watching the last days of Jesus.

The cast of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR performed for the press today. Three numbers have been shown: 'I Don't Know How To Love Him', staring Negra Li, 'Gethesemade', presented by Igor Ricki in the role of Jesus Christ, and the hit 'Superstar', with Alirio Neto and all the company. The portuguese version was made by Luciano Andreys and Bianca Tadini. Wellington Nogueira as Herod and Fred Silveira as Pilate also deserve attention. Both of them are great in their roles. Besides the main cast, Beto Sargentelli stands out performing in the role of Simon Zealots.

A new production of EVITA, the first one conceived and designed by a Brazilian creative team, opened to rave reviews at TEATRO ALFA, São Paulo, Brazil.

Agora Sabrina Korgut está de volta ao Rio de Janeiro para mas uma vez mostrar aos cariocas sua divertidíssima e apreciadíssima participação em AVENIDA Q (AVENUE Q).
