"This show is pure Broadway magic. Even though the songs are in Spanish, the storyline, all the dialogue is in English. It is honestly one of the most memorable evenings I have ever spent in the theater. The BAND is absolutely incredible and the personalities are indelible. Lighting and direction are amazing and this is definitely not a show to be missed. No wonder it has 10 Tony nominations. Go. Just go. You won’t regret it!"

Exhilarating Show!
"This is a wonderful show all about incredible Cuban music and the real-life band who attained late-in-life world fame. The music, the singing, the dancing, it’s as much a concert as a play (but it’s that too). Great for all ages!"

So enjoyed being reminded of the documentary that occupies my home.
"The FABULOUS music/musicians, the FABULOUS dancers, the FABULOUS voices, the narrative/story that was built around the history/documentary was so very creative.
Seeing the WOMEN DANCERS in flat shoes was "curious" because I and most of the other women I enjoyed dance with always danced in heals when dancing at a club.
This MUSICAL is a WONDERFUL contribution to the history of people of color with limited means.
Thanks of the opportunity to share and reminding us all of the DIASPORA in a life affirming venue.
PEACE
ONE LOVE"

"I liked the way each number was introduced in which a prior short story is told to set each number to make a lot of sense. In other words the numbers did not come out the blue but from a true historical context, played with the sabrosura only Cuban music provide. Edwin, a PR lover of Cuban music. "
