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."

Best Broadway show so far
"The recreation of La Havana decor was impressive. Costumes, musical instruments, hairstyles, everything. The music was exceptional and the actors fitted in so well. Would watch it twice!"

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! "

I could see the musical more than once!!!!
"The stage, the music, the dancing, all of them were unbelievable exceptional. I was transported to the club itself also I get a teary eye a few times. Most of the people like their music but didn't know their story. A thousand percent recommended."

Spectacular!!! Pure Joy! Authentic, musicians/dancers-the highest caliber!!
"Absolutely earth shaking performances! We were transported to the Buena Vista club with the very first note of music! The musicians gave their souls on stage! The dancers exuded so much joy! Everyone came together as one to embody each song. We cried many times hearing the amazing heart and soul of the songs! Authentic! The crowd cheered and roared after every song. We have not been in a theater where every person was transported to another time and space together. Tremendous, soul filling show! We would love to see it again and again, but we know we experienced a once in a lifetime show that was magical. There is no way to have that high a 2nd time! Thank you beautiful artists for giving us your love, heart and soul at our performance! You all filled our cups! "

Electric
"We loved the high energy, passion and commitment of the cast. Having just experienced a week traveling and listening to Jorge Louis Pacheco, his Cuban ties are with the Buena Vista Social Club. The show also had a serious message."

Amazing & warm with spectacular music
"As Cubans, this was probably much more heartfelt,important and moving that for most. It’s our story. Every bit of it. And we felt it, we cried, laughed and are still dancing to the music a day later. Thank you to all the cast and musicians for such a great production. We Will bring all our kids back. And we will cry a little more wondering what could have been for them- and for us- if we had been given the chance. 💕"

Fabulous!!!
"From the start the music just draws you in. Incredible performances. The musicians had a way of playing, when the flute started playing it brought tears to my eyes, that makes it Cuban music. I was dancing in my seat the whole time. Hadn’t enjoyed a Broadway show like this one in a long time. Don’t miss out on it. "

I Was Dancing In My Seat

Fortunately, I was surrounded by people unknown to me who shared my enthusiasm and we all had a great time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Buena Vista Social Club."
