Best Broadway show ever!!!
"I am a salsa lover. I grew up listening to salsa and dancing to it. Then, I had the opportunity to visit Cuba a few years ago, and last night, watching this spectacular show, I only wanted to get up and dance. The voices, the musicians, and their talent transported me to Havana and those years of joy. I recommend this fantastic show. We need more shows like this one!!! Well done!!"

2 hours of nonstop music
"Enjoyed the show, pity I can't speak Spanish. Storyline a bit sad but funny too, good wisecracks& banter. Dancing very energetic but the show is all about the music, one incredible guitar solo. If you want flashy costumes, not the show but if you want music definitely one to choose"

Don't speak Spanish? Music is Universal!
"I was a little nervous coming to this show because I speak little to no Spanish, and the songs are all in Spanish. I shouldn't have worried! The show combines English and Spanish beautifully, and I *loved* the music and the story. The musicians are incredibly talented, and seem to be having so much fun! We all gave them a well deserved standing ovation. I loved this show!"

Stephen L from Camillus on Jul 28, 2025
Amazing musicians who LOVE what they do!
"The energy and skill of this cast is clear..but the LOVE they put into the music is what makes this show so special. This is a a musical phenomenon full of rhythm, soul, and emotion..and each member of the cast is fully invested. You cannot sit still, and you cannot stop smiling..until the moments come when the depth and beauty of the harmonies and the story told brings you to tears! The story is simple, but the music and interplay between musicians, and the respect they show for one another is what is so moving. The audience cannot help but engage. This is a “do not miss” experience!"

An enjoyable time from beginning to end to end!
"This wonderful story of how important has music been for Cuba and its people, makes anyone enjoy an evening of fantastic music. Even if you aren’t familiar with the music, you want to get up and dance. It definitely puts you in a club in Cuba. This was my last day in NY after 42 wonderful years. I could not have say good bye to this marvelous city in a better way! Thank you NY, and thank you Buenavista Social Club. "

A masterpiece!
"The voices, musicianship and dancing were all exquisite and the story told was so poignant. It was so sad to revisit what Cubans went through in the late 1950’s and the parallel to our current world at large was not lost on me."

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.
