    Vibrant evening of music and dance!

    An amazing experience, witnessing the vibrant dance and music of Brazil over centuries! Excellent performances by many talented artists.

    Nadarajah_I · July 2026

    Nice musical show

    It’s a worthwhile experience. You get to know about the other regions of Brazil’s culture history and lifestyle and they were presented beautifully in the form of musical performances. It was a pleasant evening with dinner.

    One of the highlights of our Rio trip

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible experience! The Roxy show was absolutely spectacular from start to finish. If you're visiting Rio, this is a must-see and a fantastic way to learn about and experience Brazilian culture through music, dance, and stunning performances. We chose the Copacabana package, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the entire evening was well organized. The energy, talent, and production quality of the show were outstanding. Every scene was captivating and beautifully showcased the diversity and spirit of Brazil. One of the highlights of our trip to Rio. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic cultural experience!

    Roxy dinner & show - encore!

    The dinner experience was great, it started with a welcome photo at the venue. The staff at the restaurant were very attentive. The food was good, my steak could have been hotter (temperature wise). There was a live performance ALL through dinner which we did not expect. We felt we saw 2 shows for the price of one!!! The actual Roxy show which paid homage to the different regions of Brazil was creative, informative and entertaining!!!! This show is a MUST see when you visit Rio.

    Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $104 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.

    Is Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 204 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner?

    +

    Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Roxy Show - Brazilian Rhythms with optional Barbecue Dinner start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
