I didn’t know anything about this group.
"The stage came alive with music I only heard on radio and in movies. This movie explained who they were and what they went through to do what they loved and that was to sing and dance. My only complaint is that it ended so quickly. "

Emotional, exciting, vibrant!
"The music alone was a story teller! The musicians were excellent, some of the best I've seen and heard. The set was not elaborate, but it didn't need to be. Each character shined in their own spotlight. I smiles, laughed, and cried, but mostly, I wanted to move and dance! Loved it!"

BVSC is stunning from start to finish.
"The music and a play about the music from the best musicians in Cuba is exciting and vibrant throughout. The singers, the dancers, and the songs tell the story of Cuba and its music scene at the time of the revolution, and how the music carried the musicians through that tumultuous time to the present. What a great story and a way to spend an evening."

Fabulous night of music!
"I remember when The Buena Vista Social Club’s album came out and they toured the world and played at Carnegie Hall. What I didn’t know anything about was the impetus behind the album and the story of Imora, the female lead singer. This show explains all of that in an amazing, music and action-filled performance. The actors and musicians are incredible and the audience participated by clapping and whooping it up. "

Absolutely Phenomenal!
"My experience at The Buena Vista Social Club show was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment the show began, I was completely immersed. The lighting was stunning—moody, vibrant, and perfectly timed—enhancing every beat and emotion on stage. The costumes were immaculate, each one thoughtfully designed and bursting with personality, while the overall aesthetic felt rich in culture, so authentic, and effortlessly flawless. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the storytelling. The storyline was deeply powerful and beautifully woven, adding emotional depth that stayed with me long after the final note. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a journey—one that celebrated culture, history, and human connection with incredible care and artistry. Every detail felt intentional, and every moment felt alive. This show is a masterclass in atmosphere and storytelling. A truly unforgettable experience that deserves every bit of praise."

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.
