RIO THE MUSICAL
Ricardo Marques
RIO, The Musical follows twelve year-old Pipio hunts for his lost mother among the street-kids, gangs and drug-lords that rule Rio’s favelas – the toughest slums in the hottest place on Earth. The boy’s search for identity becomes a struggle for survival in this re-in-vention of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist set in modern-day Brazil – a colorful Carnival tale presented by the Escola de Samba Foltano! Brought to CVREP by director, Ricardo Marques.
Coming to CVREP on April 3rd at 2pm.
