O autor de uma peça e alguns atores discutem sobre o descontentamento dos cantores com os papéis que lhes foram atribuÍdos.

Note from asker:
| Obrigada, fvasconcelos. Eu estava hesitando em usar "pelica" e "pele de carneiro", mas acredito que "legítima" deu conta de fazer a distinção. Feliz 2010 para você. |
