Better than expected
"I saw it when visiting family in NJ. Any seat in the house is a good seat. The storyline, dancing and music are phenomenal! The singers are wonderful! But when the music comes on you will want to get off your seat and dance. Love, tragedy, drama, music and the consequences of political struggle all intertwined in one story. I want to see it again."

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"

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.
