"I enjoyed this production immensely. The music, the depiction of the thriving of Latin music despite cultural oppression and civil unrest, everything about the production was just right-on!"

Absolutely fabulous entertainment!
"Loved the music and energy of the performers! The musicians appeared to be having fun which made me have fun!
The choreography had too many lifts for my taste, not typical Cuban dancing. However, the dancers executed this choreography very well.
Highly recommend seeing it!"

Best show I’ve ever seen
"Simply amazing. First and foremost, the music and skill of all the performers is beyond incredible. There was barely a minute where I wasn’t moving in my seat. The story is told in such a gripping way with terrific dancing that emphasizes the feelings. You don’t need to be Spanish or a big fan of Latin music to throughly enjoy the show. But if you are Latino and a fan of our music the way I am, this will hit you in a very special way. I saw it twice and will definitely go again!"

Front row is the place to be.
"Truthfully this was the most scintillating show my wife and l have been to in a long time.
My wife and our friend, like us from the Caribbean but living in NY for a long time where both heavily involved in dance for almost 40 years and witnessing the energy of the performers particularly from the front row really gave us a sense that we were actually in the Club.
My wife has sight issues at the moment which was why we chose the front row when normally we would sit mid centre
However our positioning was absolutely perfect. The music, the acting and particularly the dancing was really on cue.
The energy of the performers really made one feel you were part of the experience.
It is such a pity that political realtions between Cuba and the US are not on better terms and hopefully one day there will be an improvement in that arena, in the meantime anyone coming to this show will witness a true Latin Cultural Extravaganza that takes the roof off.
Congratulations to the cast and the producers for a truly memorable happening!"

I absolutely loved this show!
"This was one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have seen many, many Broadway musicals. I knew the music of the Buena Vista social club before seeing the show, and I love it, but seeing this show made it even more wonderful. The singers were fantastic, the dancers were superb, and the musicians were beyond belief! If I had the money and I didn’t live so far away I would see it over and over again. It was a truly exceptional work of art!

Wow!
"We were a bit skeptical about a show with lyrics only in Spanish which we do not speak, but wow! Talent abounds in this performance. The singing and dancing are just exceptional. The audience is further treated to the amazing talent in the band which adds its own layer of entertainment. The story is poignant but left us all feeling uplifted - and wanting to watch the show all over again. We attend musical theatre productions with frequency, but this show is truly something special. We have already been actively recommending it! "

Song, dance, music...so VIBRANT! This musical made me want to dance!
"What an outstanding performance from ALL performers! They set the stage on fire with the amazing Cuban music and explosive dancing! Such a fun and interesting story of the Buena Vista Social Club and rise and fall of Cuba with the Cuban Revolution. But how the people and music can bring it back. Loved this musical! Would highly recommend!"

Amazing Backstory to the Movie
"I saw the movie when it first came out (and several times since). I own the Soundtrack. I loved the movie because of the intimate story of recording and performance. This Musical actually tells the story of the musicians and some of the history. How the cultural and political environment made great music even better. Absolutely incredible performances by everyone. Thank you!"

Two hours of absolute musical joy!
"Buena Vista Social Club was two hours of pure joy. The musical tells the story of a group of Cuban musicians who record a legendary album, "Buena Vista Social Club," in 1996. The play won five Tony's this year! The music and dancing were exceptional. I especially loved the fact that there were 11 original musicians from the iconic album! Viva Havana! Fantastic!

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.
