Great Acting, Music, and Performance
"The Buena Vista Social Club Musical was so wonderful: funny, excellent music, rhythm, performance, Spanish dancing, singing. Everything was super terrific. It brought back memories of almost forgotten Spanish music from the 1950s. I highly recommend it."

I adored every moment
"I adored everything about this show, from the storyline to the costumes. The dance scenes were very effective in setting the mood and eliciting emotion, and the lines were delivered flawlessly. The only thing that could’ve made it better would be a Q&A about the Cuban revolution."

Toe tapping music
"I was skeptical on how they would make a story of the songs and was blown away. Incredible musicians, mesmerizing dancers, excellent storytelling. Brought me to tears, to laughs, and to my feet. Understanding of Spanish is a big plus but being open to feel the music transcends Spanish. Bravo!!!"

Got better as the show went on
"At first wasn't sure about this. Songs were in Spanish, which I don't speak, but as the story unfolded and you begin to put the pieces together, it turned out to be really good. The actors were wonderful, and the band was fabulous. My wife and I left the theater and we couldn't stop talking about the great production. Really glad we went. "

Outstanding musicians and singers/actors
"This was some of the best music making that I have ever heard. While it is hard to single out performers, the guitarist, trumpet and flutist were among the best of the best and I have heard a lot. Overall they just made you want to go dancing which I think is what club music at its finest is about."

Prepare to be totally immersed in outstanding talent & entertainment!g
"Loved the lively Latin music, dancing, storyline and the exceptional talent of musicians, dancers, & vocalists. Outstanding casting.
Wish the Playbill included English translation for the lyrics of the songs performed. The emotion of each song was conveyed through performance but hearing the story through the lyrics would have made it better for this English speaking patron.
