Three great performances in one show: drama, dancing and music
"BVSC was a show that uses a place to summarize a historical moment where music and singing helped to define a generation of Cuban artists that impacted the world. The storytelling, the dancers and actor's performances paid tribute to the album concerts and documentary that was released in the 1990s. Los musicos were engaging with their vocal solos and on guitar, bongos, and piano. We came in from Chicago to see BVSC and it was well worth the travel to experience this great show. "

Get Ready to Move
"Fantastic music! Inspiring energy! Buena Vista Social Club brought our Spanish speaker to tears multiple times. We non- Spanish speakers missed out on the narrative, but not the vibe. Wow!! I especially appreciated, as a non Spanish speaker, the creative way of communicating the experiences from forty years earlier alongside the current day experiences. Great use of costume, choreography, and staging. The dances drew us into the drama. In the end, the quality music left us longing to explore Cuban music and history. And… we did!"

BVSC isn't a show. It's an experience in time
"It was as though we were at a Buena Vista Social Club concert with a beautiful story woven into the performance. The performers were exceptional. The weaving of the story between the reality that revolution can bring to the best dreams make us realize how fragile our best plans can be. This is a story of a past that needs to be considered during these changing times. "

Authentic Cuban music.
"And a great story about divided families in the time of the “revolution”. Castro took every family tree and put it through a shredder. My parents would have loved the show had they been alive."

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.
