Poor Little Rich Girl - A Bossa Nova Love Story archive

This piece of musical theatre features twelve songs composed by two of the founders of Bossa Nova, Carlos Lyra and Vinicius de Moraes. This London production combines their sophisticated sounds with a minimalist staging. The play's story engages with two starkly different sides of 1960s Rio society, with all its glamour and social problems. The narrative centres on the story of the love of the Poor Little Rich Girl for the Beggar Poet, thus breaking through the barriers of social class, a transgression which is also reflected in the dynamic innovation of Brazilian music of that era.
