Beyond amazing, truly a work of art
"Jukebox musicals are challenged with making preexisting material fresh enough to entertain audience that are intimately familiar with the source material. Buena Vista Social Club did just that and more. As someone who has studied Afro-Cuban music (and even worked with Juan de Marcos González), I couldn't help but groove in my seat the entire time. Can't wait for this show to tour!"

This is the real deal!
"I have traveled and worked with musicians in Cuba for twenty years, including a few of the remaining members of the BVSC and Beny Moreno’s group. The people on stage for this production are the equal or better of all the great musicians o heard in Havana, not least of why because they have excellent instruments, unlike their Havanese counterparts. This is a joyful show, and the music is done of the greatest from the 30th Century. See This Show!!!"
