Fantastic
"This show gave my Cuban roots life from the beginning to the end the Buena Vista Social Club music was brought to life. The singing and dancing was infectious I wanted to jump out of my seat and dance. I definitely recommend that everyone see this play and experience the magic of the Cuban culture through music."

Time to Reminisce
"From the acting, singing, and music the show is amazing. To hear the music that I grew up with sang with such feeling was very emotional. Renesito Avich playing the Tres was outstanding. I would highly recommend this play if you enjoy great music."

Closest thing to traveling back in time (to the 90s)
"I loved this music when it first came out to most of us in the 1990s. Now, hearing it performed live the way it should be heard. Amazing. The choreography and the narrative of the musical was very engaging. But the best thing was the musicians. I don’t dance. No rhythm at all. This had me dancing and I hate audiences that dance in their seats!"

Energy - Talent! - ah, the humanity
"Voices were excellent for all the leads. The musicians were all outstanding- especially the guitarist (w/ a strange 6-string). AND THE DANCERS were fantastic‼️ The choreography was incredible and evocative of old Havana, somehow. Loved the show! "

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.
