A
touch of Brazilian sunshine arrived in Oxford last month and Rihab
Alteraifi was there to see it. |

A performance
with bright colours that is what you remember when you finish watching
this sensational musical.
You will never see so many feathers on one stage again soon.
A dazzling production of Barry Manilow's Musical,
Copacabana takes you back to the 1940's with force.
Colourful and bright costumes everywhere, which let's you escape to
that era.
The story is about Lola (Louise Freeman) a small town girl who wants
to make it big.
Her ambition and innocence get her tangled with the Mafia and Rico
(Mark Faith).
A highly enjoyable musical comedy. Impressive performance from all
involved.
Aly McInnes as Gladys, the Brooklyn waitress, and Christopher Howard
as Sam Silver, Nik Stoter as Tony and Gemma Craven does a fine Job
as Conchita.
The dancing scenes were well preformed by the dancers although the
male dancers were not as great.
But all in all a great show that keeps you entertained throughout.
