"Having just been to Cuba in March , this was such a meaningful play for my husband and me. We attended a performance at the Buena Vista Social Club in Havana and had the honor of seeing Amara perform at age 92!!! Seeing this musical tribute to her was beyond special. We loved everything- the music, the choreography, the costumes, and the performances were truly amazing! "

a high powered emotional musical
"I learned a lot about how Cuba was torn apart by the impacts of the communist revolution. The music, song and dance were woven perfectly into a narrative that highlighted difficult choices families had to make on an emotional level. I thought it was brilliant and the music both beautiful and powerful. ps. never saw some of those dance moves before!"

Exhilarating and dynamic
"The musicians, dancers and singers were as good as any Broadway musical I’ve ever seen. This was a great way to introduce my partner to a live performance musical in the city we love. My best recommendation is to listen to the Grammy winning sound track from the ‘90s and get yourself in the mood."

A beautiful show.
"If you love the BVSC music, you’ll love this show.
If you love musical theater and the power it has to universal stories of loss, love and how music can make everything better, you’ll love this show.
And if you’re Cuban like me, my parents and my grandparents, BVSC will swell your heart with pride.
What an incredibly beautiful show."

Beat expectations!
"I did not hear a lot of hype about the show. It peaked my interest because I bought the album when it first came out. The musicians were incredible. The vocals at least equal that and I got a ticket for a reasonable price for a Broadway show highly recommended."

What a show!
"A big BVSC lover from that album. Was a bit doubtful to see it as a show, but my fears were quickly overcome by the music, the staging, the singers, musicians and dancers. We sat upstairs and was concerned too far away but no worries as the theater is rather small, and even if in a low-cost seat, we were close to the happenings. Go see it! "
