Exhilarating and dynamic
"The musicians, dancers and singers were as good as any Broadway musical I’ve ever seen. This was a great way to introduce my partner to a live performance musical in the city we love. My best recommendation is to listen to the Grammy winning sound track from the ‘90s and get yourself in the mood."

Loved it!
"When I chose the tickets I knew nothing of the show. I dis some research and learned about the history. That made it better but wasn't necessary. Fantastic musicians, music, dancers, and story loved it all."

Loved it!
"I enjoyed the show very much. Outstanding music and musicians. Great performers. I do think the choreography should be “more Cuban and less ballet”. "

Take a trip back in time
"The music of early Cuba was masterfully performed by the most talented musicians. The dancers and actors brought the music to life and were amazing. A beautiful memory of Pre-castro Cuba. The show was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed it!"

A beautiful show.
"If you love the BVSC music, you’ll love this show. If you love musical theater and the power it has to universal stories of loss, love and how music can make everything better, you’ll love this show. And if you’re Cuban like me, my parents and my grandparents, BVSC will swell your heart with pride. What an incredibly beautiful show."

Beat expectations!
"I did not hear a lot of hype about the show. It peaked my interest because I bought the album when it first came out. The musicians were incredible. The vocals at least equal that and I got a ticket for a reasonable price for a Broadway show highly recommended."

What a show!
"A big BVSC lover from that album. Was a bit doubtful to see it as a show, but my fears were quickly overcome by the music, the staging, the singers, musicians and dancers. We sat upstairs and was concerned too far away but no worries as the theater is rather small, and even if in a low-cost seat, we were close to the happenings. Go see it! "

I could see the musical more than once!!!!
"The stage, the music, the dancing, all of them were unbelievable exceptional. I was transported to the club itself also I get a teary eye a few times. Most of the people like their music but didn't know their story. A thousand percent recommended."

Spectacular!!! Pure Joy! Authentic, musicians/dancers-the highest caliber!!
"Absolutely earth shaking performances! We were transported to the Buena Vista club with the very first note of music! The musicians gave their souls on stage! The dancers exuded so much joy! Everyone came together as one to embody each song. We cried many times hearing the amazing heart and soul of the songs! Authentic! The crowd cheered and roared after every song. We have not been in a theater where every person was transported to another time and space together. Tremendous, soul filling show! We would love to see it again and again, but we know we experienced a once in a lifetime show that was magical. There is no way to have that high a 2nd time! Thank you beautiful artists for giving us your love, heart and soul at our performance! You all filled our cups! "

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.
