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! "

"We loved the high energy, passion and commitment of the cast. Having just experienced a week traveling and listening to Jorge Louis Pacheco, his Cuban ties are with the Buena Vista Social Club. The show also had a serious message."

Amazing & warm with spectacular music
"As Cubans, this was probably much more heartfelt,important and moving that for most. It’s our story. Every bit of it. And we felt it, we cried, laughed and are still dancing to the music a day later. Thank you to all the cast and musicians for such a great production. We Will bring all our kids back. And we will cry a little more wondering what could have been for them- and for us- if we had been given the chance. 💕"

Fabulous!!!
"From the start the music just draws you in. Incredible performances. The musicians had a way of playing, when the flute started playing it brought tears to my eyes, that makes it Cuban music.
I was dancing in my seat the whole time.
Hadn’t enjoyed a Broadway show like this one in a long time.
Don’t miss out on it. "

The singers were very talented and the musicians were first class
"It was a tragic but beautiful love story entwined with the story of the cuban revolution. Having been to Cuba to witness the pride the people have in their culture first hand I felt this story captured this feeling exceptionally well.

Enter the Matrix of Theatre!
"Buena Vista Social Club was incredibly captivating from beginning to end. You become one with the show as the setting, sounds, and actors make you feel as if you are inside the club!
What a beautiful experience of immersing this generation in the beauty of classic Latin/Afro American music.
I'm currently a NYC educator at P.S./M.S 315 in the Bronx and hope my 8th graders could experience this!
A show for all ages!"

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.
