Bibi was responsible for bringing musical comedy to Brazil. She was also the lead actress of three internationally acclaimed successes: “Hello Dolly,” “My Fair Lady” and “Man of La Mancha.” Another great success of Bibi’s careers was the musical “Gota d’Água” by Chico Buarque and Paulo Pontes. The musical was an adaptation from “Medeia” to the Brazilian environment. “Gota d’Água” is considered a milestone in the history of Brazilian theater.Another hallmark in Bibi’s career is the musical “Piaf – The Life of a Star of the Song”.​

In 2006, Bibi starred in the comedy “Às Favas com os Escrúpulos,” with a script by Juca de Oliveira and directed by Jô Soares, two of Brazilian's most important playwrights. This marked Bibi’s comeback to the stage in a spoken comedy after 54 years of musical comedies. “Às Favas com os Escrúpulos” was a box office hit, reamaining on stage for more than 3 years and traveling all over Brazil, seen by over 300,000 audiences.In 2010, Bibi presented “De Pixinguinha a Noel, passando por Gardel,” In this show, Bibi sang not only hits from the Brazilian popular songbook, but also tangos, demonstrating her mother and grandmother's influence on her, both of whom were from Argentina.
