"The music was excellent. We're Cuban and were concerned that many of the musicians weren't but they did a great job. We have the Cad and saw the film and the performance was excellent. The storyline was very creative and had good flow. But the music is ALL!"

Nostalgia and Memories
"I loved this show. The music was outstanding! It brought back memories of my father and my uncles playing guitar and singing some of these songs. I loved how authentic and inspiring the music was. I felt as if I were in Puerto Rico, where I was born and raised, in the midst of history. I also appreciated the underlying message of unity and never forgetting where we come from. Music and culture are a great way to remember that, as "Caribeños," we derive from Africans, Native people (TaÃnos), and the colonists who came to these islands in search of money and opportunities without taking into consideration the social and political challenges of the times. It was well done and a great way to remember that we are more similar than different, and that is the music that reminds us of that. I wanted to jump out of my seat and dance! Great performance, bravo!"

The best music in the whole entire world
"Needless to say that this one of the most incredible musical projects of our century. The broadway production did it justice. Flawless arrangements and performances. Overall I was in a high and with goosebumps for the entire thing and I did love the way they built the story based on the events in Cuba. If I had to pick small thing that I didn’t like it’s the sole perspective of Omara, and maybe it was a little bit more cliche than I’d personally like. Overall, it was just so incredible. "

Do you want to have fun!!
"Started cheering and clapping from the moment show started.
I don't speak Spanish. But most of the dialogue was in English. Reading the handout before the show began was definitely an aid.
The storyline was easy to follow.
The music was exhilarating, energizing and pure fun.
GO!!!!!"

I didn’t want it to end, so emotional
"I started my evening at Havana Central, which had a great atmosphere and really set the tone for a long-awaited night at Buena Vista Social Club. From the moment the show began, I was completely drawn in.
To me, this story was about humanity—about people connecting beyond color or background. It touched on the differences between Afro-Caribbean Cubans and white Caribbean Cubans, but more importantly, it delivered a powerful message: we should love one another as human beings. That message hit me deeply. There were moments I felt very emotional, even close to tears.
It was also incredible to look around the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre and see people of all cultures and races enjoying this experience together. That alone made the night feel even more special.
As a Puerto Rican, I truly embraced and appreciated the Cuban culture, the music, and the history shared on that stage. The music was inspiring, the performances were full of soul, and I honestly didn’t want it to end.
Yes, some tickets—including mine—were a bit expensive, but for me, it was worth it. I saw it as giving back to the artists and the culture that created such beautiful and meaningful music.
The staff was wonderful, and the overall experience was excellent. My only small suggestion would be to offer coffee at the concession stand.
I absolutely loved this show and would definitely see it again."

What an experience
"This show was so amazing. It brought back memories of when I was a young boy and my parents had house parties. The music took me back to those days. Everyone on stage was amazing and the pipes on the performers ran goosebumps on my skin. It was truly an amazing experience. Just please be careful on how you choose your seats because I was in orchestra seats row c 10 and 12 but the seats to the right of us 14 and 16 you can’t see the stage as well. The couple near us switched seats at intermission so that it would not be a complete miss"

About
Buena Vista Social Club
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.
