It worked for me
"Some reviewers think the story line is simple. Some might be put off by the English spoken narrative and the songs in Spanish. I urge you to stick with it. And enjoy the intentional humour as well as the sound and musicianship of the cast. (It must be even more enjoyable if you're fluent in both languages.) If you are not aware of the history, it helps in understanding the story line to do some basic research on the background/key events of Cuba's national story in the 50's and 60's before you go: Just to appreciate the painful, personal, politically-charged choices people were forced to make for themselves and others around them at the time. The narrative may be partially fictional, as acknowledged in the opening monologue. But it is good to remember that sometimes fundamentalist politics of any sort is a wheel that blindly crushes and penalises individuals for their choices over decades. That the show is ultimately a triumph of the human spirit is a blessing for all of us. Enjoy."

Pure joy from start to finish
"This show was absolutely incredible. The talent of the dancers, musicians, and singers was on another level — truly mind-blowing. Every performance left me in awe. The choreography was so beautiful it even made me a little emotional (which says a lot, since it’s not even meant to be emotional, haha). The whole vibe was pure feel-good energy — we had huge smiles on our faces from start to finish.
Even though I don’t speak Spanish and wasn’t familiar with Cuban music, I came away with a whole new appreciation for Hispanic music and culture. I’d genuinely recommend this to everyone, no matter your background — it’s an unforgettable experience."

Moving and entertaining performance!
"I have seen many Broadway shows over the years however, I found the Buena Vista Social Club to be moving and entertaining. Given that my parents are both Cuban and I was raised in Miami listening to stories and Cuban music, I was deeply moved by how the Portuondo sisters were separated by the revolution, yet both decided to follow their passion. Omara chose to make music about the Cuban struggle and her sister chose freedom from the revolution. The singing and musical performances were powerful and entertaining. The lead guitarist was absolutely phenomenal! Cheers to the full cast an performers of the BVSC!"

Just could be my favorite Broadway show ever
"This show totally captivated the audience. No fidgeting or distracted looking viewers. Extraordinarily talented instrumentalists, especially the pianist and guitarist, who were totally absorbing when they played. The choreography was colorful, vibrant, complicated and yet amazingly precise. Pitch perfect, wide ranging vocals. A treat for the eyes and ears."
