Roxy dinner show

Trevor_R, Sep 2026

The show was great, wonderful singing, dancing and music. The dinner for the money was just okay. The driver was on time for pickup and was at the door waiting after the show.🙂

Fun show that highlighted...

Fun show that highlighted the culture and many regions of Brazil. It was fast paced and the dancing and singing was enjoyable. Two-hour dinner was one hour too long, the wait was not worth it.

Captivating Culture Cut Short

crystal, Feb 2026

This is an immersive and educational cultural expression of the history of Samba and Brazilian culture through dance and music, blending new and old genres. We thoroughly enjoyed this aspect of the event. The dress code is casual but I’d encourage attendees to dress celebratory to make it special. The Roxy theater is ornate and good for photo ops. The food was underwhelming though they tried to present it as upscale dining. Portions were small and selections limited any expanded options were on the pay per item menu. Beverages on the menu didn’t include all options, and you had to ask for water at a price.. The servers were disorganized and seemed to be distracted by the on-going seating as guest arrived. The theater experienced a power outage during the last 30 minutes of the show. There was little communication about what happened but it was clear after 10 minutes that it could not be fixed. Performers came out and did a final dance number that was clearly modified to close the night quickly. The show was scheduled to end at 11:30 and we left the theater at 11:05. Though apologetic there was no offer of a credit or voucher for not receiving what we paid for.

Great show full of the vibrancy of Brazil.

Charles_H, Jan 2026

The show was great with the vibrancy of Brazil. The meal was average but overall well worth doing. The pre show started at 7.30pm with main event at 9.30pm, this was confusing as the ticket said 6.00pm start.

Very Good, Treatment was...

An amazing show! High-energy samba, beautiful costumes, and fantastic performers. A great night out in Rio.

Way to start your Brazil trip.

Show includes hotel pick up which makes it very convenient. Dinner was fantastic. Visit entire Brazil on the stage

Beware: Just a show- no dinner

KatEgland, Nov 2025

There was no dinner. This activity is extremely deceptive. We arrived almost 2 hours before the show to find out we didn’t pay for dinner-just a show that didn’t start until 9pm. We would have gladly paid extra for a “DINNER” Show had we known our $134USD ticket only included a drink and some nuts. It was humiliating and disappointing. For another $139-$175 USD you could upgrade to dinner. But I suggest simply going to the show’s website and purchasing your choice of ticket packages. They’re much more reasonable. All you’re paying for here is transportation to a show. I was so insulted and offended that I turned my back during the entire show. My sister really wanted the experience and I stayed with her. But I had been offended by purchasing tickets that said dinner was included, only to find out upon arrival there was no dinner included. This was blatantly false advertising. However they claimed it wasn’t and was a simple misunderstanding. I rarely write bad reviews. But this was an awful experience.

Roxy Dinner show Sep 2025

jaisimha_i, Sep 2025

The show was amazing. Pickup was on time. The venue is very classy and the food is very good. Drinks are reasonably priced. It is a show of the diversity in Brazilian culture thru dance and music on par with Disney or Broadway shows. Only snag is the Viator tickets do not work for the show and there was miscommunication from Viator to the company which was eventually OK. Strongly recommend

Great way to start your visit to Rio

Erick_M, May 2025

It was a really good show, very entertaining, the food was really good, we had filet mignon and it hit the spot, good prices on the drinks and we got a really good table by booking with Viator. The staff and the service was very nice. The dancers and the venue was amazing.

Great dinner and show!

Richard_K, Mar 2025

Fantastic show and excellent dinner. the admission process was a little difficult because the admission person would NOT accept the electronic ticket Viator sent. Luckily, we had downloaded to our phone the documents sent by the show.

It’s okay. Just read my notes

Tatianna_I, Feb 2025

Overall the performance was a 10 out of 10 the food was a six out of 10 we were told that we needed to be there by 7 PM. However, the show did not start until two hours later and was about an hour long show we wish we would have known that we could have come later during the day so that we weren’t just sitting there for two hours with nothing to do after the food portion. There was some confusion about our tickets at the desk however, our God make sure that we were all good to go.

Fantastic high quality...

ANGELA_G, Jan 2025

Fantastic high quality show on par with broadway and Disney quality. Great food . Gorgeous venue. Phenomenal and memorable show covering the Brazilian culture and history through music and dance. Highly recommend!

Worth doing

Eunice_H, Dec 2024

Something to do as a tourist; place looks elegant and food is good. Ended with a Carnival twist. Show well executed. Staff extremely helpful.

Amazing evening at the Roxy

elizabeth_l, Dec 2024

Fantastic!! Plan to go here. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere is lively. If you don’t speak Portuguese you can connect with the emotions. I think many tourists missed out on really participating which is too bad. Ask for a table towards the front. PRO tip: dress up a bit. This is a dinner experience at a fine restaurant. Shirt and slacks for men and dressy outfits for women
