Worth the money!
"I appreciate how the story was layered by including different timelines, and actors in the same roles. The musicians were on fire and the dancers reminded me that you could dance the same beat in more than one style and it was all correct. I absolutely love this and hope everyone can enjoy it."

I didn’t want it to end, so emotional
"I started my evening at Havana Central, which had a great atmosphere and really set the tone for a long-awaited night at Buena Vista Social Club. From the moment the show began, I was completely drawn in. To me, this story was about humanity—about people connecting beyond color or background. It touched on the differences between Afro-Caribbean Cubans and white Caribbean Cubans, but more importantly, it delivered a powerful message: we should love one another as human beings. That message hit me deeply. There were moments I felt very emotional, even close to tears. It was also incredible to look around the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre and see people of all cultures and races enjoying this experience together. That alone made the night feel even more special. As a Puerto Rican, I truly embraced and appreciated the Cuban culture, the music, and the history shared on that stage. The music was inspiring, the performances were full of soul, and I honestly didn’t want it to end. Yes, some tickets—including mine—were a bit expensive, but for me, it was worth it. I saw it as giving back to the artists and the culture that created such beautiful and meaningful music. The staff was wonderful, and the overall experience was excellent. My only small suggestion would be to offer coffee at the concession stand. I absolutely loved this show and would definitely see it again."

What an experience
"This show was so amazing. It brought back memories of when I was a young boy and my parents had house parties. The music took me back to those days. Everyone on stage was amazing and the pipes on the performers ran goosebumps on my skin. It was truly an amazing experience. Just please be careful on how you choose your seats because I was in orchestra seats row c 10 and 12 but the seats to the right of us 14 and 16 you can’t see the stage as well. The couple near us switched seats at intermission so that it would not be a complete miss"

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.
