Abstract
This work aims to demonstrate the existence and production processes of an Entertainment Industry based on commercial-musical theater in Portugal, with Lisbon as the observation scope, between 1951 and 1978, period of the active work of Vasco Morgado, the most important producer / theatrical Impresario of the second half of the twentieth century. The lack of studies or literature on this company demonstrates a clear gap to be filled, especially considering that the vast majority of those involved in the production process (in terms of creation and execution) operated in the service of this company. Shaped by studies in the context of Popular Music, Ethnomusicology and Sociology, this dissertation intends, as thoroughly as the available sources allow, to establish the relationship between the theatrical genre of greater adherence of the Portuguese public - the Revue - and the rest of the Music Industry, based on case studies of the most important performances brought to the scene by Vasco Morgado at the Teatro Monumental. In this context, original operational concepts were created, such as "Popular Music Theatre" and "Performative Layers" to ensure the necessary detail in which this analysis is concerned.
