The text presents reflections on the characterization in musical theater, one of the most important conventions of the genre, and its presence in the Company Walter Pinto (1939-1961). The focus of the analysis are the stock characters - the “malandro” (hedonist), the mulatto woman, the hick, the Portuguese, the “carioca” (Rio citizen) and the “femme fatale” (female seductress) - in the texts of the "revistas" (vaudeville shows or variety shows) of  Walter Pinto, in the CEDOC/FUNARTE document collection.
