   Step into the dazzling and defiant world of GLAM!, the critically acclaimed and award-winning musical comedy that has taken the theater world by storm and a lot of glitter!!!!

    Celebrated for its powerful message and originality, GLAM! was the winner of the 2023 Bibi Ferreira Award for Best Lyrics & Original Music and received the Spotlight Award from the Prêmio Destaque Imprensa Digital (DID). The production was also honored with a nomination for Best Off Brodway Musical at the prestigious Prêmio Bibi Ferreira.

The story introduces us to Atena (Mau Alves), the fierce drag queen and owner of the city's most fabulous nightclub, GLAM! Alongside her are three other show-stopping queens—Velma (Igor Miranda), Lolita (Luan Carvalho), and Cereja (Wand Barbosa)—who light up São Paulo with their exuberant performances. Their world is turned upside down when Dante (Danilo Moura), a man desperate to change his life, hides out in the back of the club to escape a group of criminals hot on his heels. In this unimaginable place, an unlikely friendship blossoms, one that transcends all prejudice.

With a score of 14 original songs performed live, GLAM! is more than just a story; it’s a celebration and a statement. Drag queens are a fundamental part of Brazilian culture, yet for years they have suffered prejudice. GLAM! shatters this perception, standing as a vital and original Brazilian LGBTQIA+ musical that places these artists center stage.

The musical powerfully addresses themes of homophobia and, most importantly, the struggle of every LGBTQIA+ person to conquer their space in the world. It is a timely and necessary production that aims to break down barriers, challenge prejudice, and champion protagonists who have long been fighting for their right to exist, love, and shine.

"Living in black and white is a wasted option...
When there's so much color here for your transformation!"
