My first musical (2015)

_______________

Besides writing and directing this new Brazilian musical, Nogueira also composed three original songs for the show. Broadway classics and old Brazilian advertising jingles are also a part of this romantic comedy that pleased theater goers and critics in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.  Dora is a thirty-five year-old housewife who day dreams about being in Broadway musicals in order to escape the sadness of her failed marriage. When her husband, an advertising jingle composer, forgets their anniversary, she blows up the television and plunges into a trauma: the only way Dora responds to people is if they sing to her. Her life, then, becomes a real musical.
