What to wear to the Roxy dinner show
The venue answers the dress question itself: there is no strict dress code, but it recommends smart casual or elegant, comfortable attire.1 In practice that means you will not be turned away for skipping a tie, and you will not feel out of place in a good shirt, a dress or tailored trousers either. Think of it as dressing for a good restaurant that happens to have a theatre attached.
The venue adds a nuance for the Rio de Janeiro package, for which it suggests dressing up a little more.1 That is the package with its own menu and a half bottle of wine per person, so the clothes can match the occasion.5 If you booked a lighter package, the same smart casual standard still sits comfortably.
Comfort matters for a night that can last several hours, so choose shoes you can walk in and clothes that let you sit through dinner and a long show without fuss. A beach cover-up, flip-flops and sports kit sit at the casual end of the range, so keep them for the daytime and change before you leave the hotel.1

Seating access and dress advice as the venue publishes them; where the venue states nothing, we say so.3,11,1
Cold room, warm street: bring a jacket
The street outside may be warm, but the theatre is cooler. The venue says air conditioning holds the room at 20°C to 22°C and recommends a light jacket.2 The dinner and show listing gives the same advice in its good-to-know notes: bring a jacket, since the air conditioning runs cool. Take that as a plain instruction and not a hint.
The show-only ticket repeats the advice, in slightly different words, asking guests to bring a sweater or jacket for the same reason. When two separate sources agree on a small detail like that, it is worth taking seriously, especially if you tend to feel the cold, or end up at a table close to an air vent, which you cannot know in advance.
A scarf or a thin cardigan is easy to carry and easy to take off. Put it in a bag before you leave the hotel instead of planning to come back for it, since the room stays at its cooler setting for the whole of the evening.2 A jacket that folds small is better than a bulky coat that has to be checked or draped over a chair.
Cameras, tripods and what stays in the bag
The photography rules are part of what you bring. Visitors may take photos and short videos with mobile phones for personal, non-commercial use, as long as they do not disturb other guests or the performance.8 Keep the phone at your own table, point it at your own party and the stage, and make sure it never blocks the view of the guests around you.
Professional or semi-professional equipment is not permitted. The venue's list includes professional cameras, interchangeable lenses, tripods, monopods, gimbals, GoPro cameras, drones, lighting and external recorders.8 So a camera bag with a long lens is a poor fit for this evening, and leaving it at the hotel will spare you an awkward conversation at the door.
The venue reserves the right to ask a guest to stop recording when the policy is not followed.8 Treat the show as something to watch with your own eyes. A few snapshots of the room and the dinner plates are what a phone is for, and the room is easiest to catch before the lights go down and the show begins.

How the table map and seating chart work
Searches for a Roxy dinner show seating chart usually mean a diagram of the room, and travellers ask for it before they pay. The venue describes a table map instead, and it ties access to the package. The Rio de Janeiro and Brasil packages carry the complete table map, open to choose from as far as tables remain free on the night.3 That implies a narrower choice on the other packages, though the venue does not spell out how narrow.
The Brasil package goes further and lists exclusive seating among its features, alongside its 5-course dinner and 3 professional photos.11 If a particular table matters to you, for a birthday or a proposal, book a package that carries the map, and tell the team in advance about the occasion so that it can be marked.7
The room has more than one level. The house has more than one level: the main hall takes up to 502 guests and a private mezzanine takes another 124.9 The sources we read do not rank the seats, so we do not claim that any area is better. Use the map on the booking screen, and pick the view you prefer, whether that is close to the stage or a little back with the whole room in sight.

Choosing your seat for your kind of night
Think about what you want from the evening before you click on a table, and decide it before the screen offers you choices. A couple on a first night in the city might want a close view and a quiet corner. A family with children might want an easy route to the doors. A group celebrating a birthday might want a table that can hold everyone together.
The packages shape those choices. The package named for the show itself adds a welcome drink and mixed nuts but no meal, so it suits guests who care more about the performance than the table.13 The dinner packages suit guests who want a settled evening, and the full table map suits those who want the most control over where they sit.3
Whatever you choose, book early enough to have a choice. The venue says table access is subject to availability, which is a plain way of saying that not every table is open to every booking.3 The listing gives no occupancy figures, so there is no number to quote, only the sensible habit of booking before the week of the trip.

The show in English: what to expect
Visitors who want the Roxy dinner show in English will find a welcoming house. The venue says it welcomes international guests and that its team supports guests in English and Spanish.4 The show-only listing names a host who speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish. Service at the table, bookings and questions are therefore not a problem for English speakers.
The performance itself is music and dance, which travel well. The listing describes the evening as Brazilian music, dance and cuisine, and the show as a journey through Brazilian culture. Even so, one recent reviewer wished for a little more English commentary during the show, so do not expect a full running translation.
If that matters to you, read the programme in advance or ask the team what is explained in English on the night. A short search of the show's themes before you go, regions of Brazil and their rhythms, will give you the context that commentary might otherwise supply. Our guide to the show act by act covers that ground.
Children, access and special diets
The venue welcomes all ages, with minors accompanied by a parent or guardian.14 Small children are welcome: the youngest guests, up to age 3, are free, the middle band from 4 to 11 pays the Kids rate, and dinner packages offer a Kids menu, with a photo ID used to confirm the age.12 If you travel with a small child, tell the team when you book so that they can plan the table for you.
Access is handled by listing. The dinner and show listing and the show-only ticket are both wheelchair accessible, and the show-only listing asks guests to advise the venue about accessibility needs in advance. If you use a wheelchair, write to the team when you book so that a suitable table is held.
Dietary needs are covered too. The venue accommodates vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free diets and specific allergies, and asks you to say so at booking.6 Birthdays, proposals and other celebrations can be arranged in advance with the team, and the same message can carry your seating and diet requests together.7
