The BESSSSSTTTTTT Show on Broadway
"Don’t think about it. Just see it. I was dancing in my seat then I had to get up to dance. I felt like I was in an old club in Cuba. The singing was outstanding, the costumes, the set, the lighting. There were some emotional scenes that made my daughter cry. There were some scenes that also went into the history of Cuba. I want to go again, that’s how good it was, actually great!!! "

Amazing musical, a must see!!
"This musical follows a lovely story line about love and an old band getting back together. The two lead actresses are incredible but the music IS the show. Nostalgic, and romantic soulful Cuban music that makes it hard to sit still in your seat. Anywhere you sit in the theatre is a good seat! "

Fantastic, foot tapping show
"This was sheer joy from start to finish. Amazing musicians playing those mesmerising Latin beats. Great energy from the cast of singers and dancers. A must watch if you like Cuban beats. For a ‘juke box style’ musical the story fit well around the now well known Buena Vista Social club numbers. "

Best new show!
"Where do I begin! The story line was great, and so well told by the characters. The music, singing and dancing were phenomenal. The actors communicated with such heart, they were over the top. I would highly recommend this!! We came in from Northern California and we were so glad we did. It was well worth the journey🫶 "

Do NOT miss this show!
"What did I like? EVERYTHING. First and foremost, the musicians and the music. Verve, virtuosity, soulfulness. Only thing missing was a dance floor for the audience. And the story was poignant, acting superb. If this show doesn’t win a bunch of awards, then life just isn’t fair. If I lived in NYC, I’d see it again. As it is, I’m already looking forward to the touring companies after a long run on Broadway!"

Best play of the season!
"This is a musical even for people who don't like musicals; just spectacular music without compromising the original style, and glorious choreography. The set designer and lighting designers also deserve awards. I go to a lot of theater, and live in Miami with a lot of Cuban music everywhere. This is icing on the cake!"

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.
