One of the best…Ever!
"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"

Buena Vista on Broadway
"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. "
