“BEST OF BRASIL IN OBA OBA”
It is a combination of carnival,
circus, Ziegfeld Follies and Las Vegas.
A sort of mini-bacchanal.
SPLENDLY PERFORMED!”
Don Nelsen, Daily News, 1988
“The hottest ticket
in town!
If you always wanted to go to
carnival in Rio, Oba Oba will take you there faster than any airline.
Sensual, spicy and very hot.
Lambada your way to Broadway!”
Ralph Sanabria, WPAT Radio, 1990

3 rave reviews
”EXOTIC, TORRID, SCINTILLATING!
A festival revue whose performers
include voluptuous women, well
muscled acrobats and adoring tribute
to Carmen Miranda.
A Brazilian music and
dance extravaganza.”
Stephen Holden, New York Times, 1988

“OBA OBA IS
GREAT FUN!
IT IS CARNIVAL TIME AT THE
MARQUIS THEATER.
Colorfully irreprensible, lavish
production numbers, spectacular acrobatics and lilting music.
The dancers are as good looking
as ever. In what other show on
Broadway does the audience
get a chance to samba up
and down the aisle with
ingratiating young performers,
balloons cascading down on
them as they dance?”
Jennifer Dunning, New York Times, 1990

”HIGH SPIRITED
RHYTHMS FROM
BRAZIL IN OBA OBA!
Endearingly giddy… the
entire evening was
a carnival.
Oba Oba has no other aim
than to spread cheer.
And it does.”
Jack Anderson, New York Times, 1992
