The GRAMMY® Award-winning album comes to thrilling life on stage. Some music you know by heart.
It’s been years since legendary singer Omara Portuondo last entered a recording studio. Once known as the “Queen of Feeling,” her voice was celebrated throughout Cuba—until she vanished from the spotlight. But when an ambitious young record producer brings her a rare opportunity, the elusive diva must finally reckon with her past.
Hailed as a "jaw-dropping, soul-stirring must see" (The Washington Post), the Tony® and GRAMMY® Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club is a journey through music and memory into the beating heart of Havana. A world-class company brings the story of the iconic album to thrilling life in this tale of big dreams, second chances, and music that needs no translation.

The show's dialogue is in English, while the songs are performed in the original Spanish from the beloved album. But Buena Vista Social Club is truly a show for everyone. The songs enrich the story, infusing it with an authentic Havana heartbeat. You won't lose the plot if you don't understand the lyrics - what matters most is how the music makes you feel.
