Outstanding musicians and singers/actors
"This was some of the best music making that I have ever heard. While it is hard to single out performers, the guitarist, trumpet and flutist were among the best of the best and I have heard a lot. Overall they just made you want to go dancing which I think is what club music at its finest is about."

Prepare to be totally immersed in outstanding talent & entertainment!g
"Loved the lively Latin music, dancing, storyline and the exceptional talent of musicians, dancers, & vocalists. Outstanding casting.
Wish the Playbill included English translation for the lyrics of the songs performed. The emotion of each song was conveyed through performance but hearing the story through the lyrics would have made it better for this English speaking patron.

What a show!
"It was an excellent show! I would and could see it each night until closing. We are visiting from Florida and my brother-in-love recommended the show. We explained that we didn’t speak Spanish that well. He said it wasn’t necessary; the dialogue was in English and music is universal. I felt each song. My 19 year old was excited and the 13-year old came around (middle schooler😊). We purchased a signed poster and even met Rubén played by Jainardo Batista Sterling, casually walking outside the theater. We learned he has Florida connections and how he came into acting. My sons listened well to the advice he offered.
Seating is tight. Be sure to stand and stretch during intermission. "

INCREDIBLE SHOW!!!
"Buena Vista Social Club was an incredible experience all around. Already familiar with the music, but not so much the storyline, this production wove all of the pieces together so beautifully - the music, the choreography, the cast and the set. I cannot wait to enjoy this experience again and have been raving about it since I walked out of the theater! BRAVO to such incredible performers, and those who make it happen behind the scenes, and THANK YOU for continuing to keep humanity alive through music and the arts! ❤️"
