An Enjoyable Cultural & Musical Show - I've been traveling to Rio for at least 26 years now. I remember the great cultural show that they used to have called, Plataforma, which was also a Dinner Show. This venue is an old movie theater that was completely remodeled and looks like something on Hollywood Boulevard. The show was very enjoyable. The first hour or so is singing by a couple in Portuguese and in English. The food is excellent but they don't give you a lot of food for what you pay. The Copacabana package was just over $100 and you got to choose from one of three entrees. Beverages are not included. Seems like there's a kitchen management issue. The husband received his food before his wife and by the time she received her food, he was just about finished. My friend received his food before mine and when I asked for another piece of bread because it was taking too long for my food, my server told me that it would cost me. My response was never mind. Our entire table should have been served at the same time. I ordered the dark chocolate dessert and it was only about 3" long however, it was excellent. We were still hungry after the show. They should consider having bread baskets on the table instead of just giving each person one piece of bread. If they got the kitchen management together and up their portions a little then it would match the show. They take your pic upon arrival and then come to your table for you to purchase. The photographer takes great pics. I bought the pics and later asked for the digital photos, which they were happy to send. I was told I'd get them in 24 hours but had to follow up with my hotel's concierge to get them because they didn't arrive as promised. After the show, you can take pics with a few cast members in the lobby with your own mobile phone. Due to the technology involved, there's a warning before the show that it could cause convulsions in some. I thought that was a strong warning but sitting down front, it did cause strange feelings from the technology and how it's interwoven in the show.

Amazing Show. Mind blowing in scope. - Great show. Started on time, and it's a real experience that's hard to explain. I wish we could have chosen our seats.

See Brazil and its people - Beautifully presentation of Brazil. I feel if we knew Portuguese we would have enjoyed it much more.

Good show - a little more expensive than it was worth - The whole experience was quite good. We did not pick the dinner option, which was the right thing for us as there wasn’t a whole lot for us vegetarians. Overall, even though it was good, I think the pricing is just way too much.

Don't book this! - I booked tickets only, paid here, and when I arrived at the show, they said the tour company never booked our tickets! We had to rebook there and ended up with bad seats. The show is amazing, but you should book directly through the Roxy Show website and just catch an Uber there.

Pantomime with two bell end boys. - Pantomime for kids, those two bell boys spoil the show. To many videos of rubbish and not enough now show. Food is cheap and waste of calories.

Light show - It is a light show with good intentions but very loose. They devote little time to samba and carnival. Very light set design.

Fraud - Deceptive advertising sells you an event with dinner and makes you believe that dinner is on site, maybe transport sells it to you and then they tell you that they can not pick you up if your hotel is not near the area they travel
