"It was all incredible. This was based on a true story and told by real musicians for the most part, not professional Broadway actors. I saw some reviews by snotty nosed experts.........complaining about this show being nominated for Tony awards. Screw them and the awards......this is as good as it gets. Entertaining, like Mamma Mia."

If you love Afro- Cuban music, this is it❗
"I loved every minute of it! Bcuz I am an older adult, I understand the history of those times. I loved the set, the costumes, the dancers moved like ballerinas and the music is Top Shelf! But then, I love Afro- Cuban music and it was a breath of fresh air to see it on a Broadway stage! Bravo Broadway ❗"
