Wish I could play an instrument
"Never before have I been so enthralled watching a musical performance. The musicians absolutely blew me away with their skill and professionalism and clear joy as they played song after song, one better than the next. The singing and dancing was equally magical and infectious. If only I could move my hips the way the dancers do. Spending a Sunday afternoon at La Buena Vista Social Club was the perfect antidote to the stressful news of the day. I was ready to go back to the theater the very next day. So glad I made the choice to see this."

Longtime Buena Vista Social Club Fans, Enamored with Broadway Musical
"As longtime Buena Vista Social Club fans who have been devoted to their story for so long, this was a beautiful telling of the brave, talented musicians. It was emotional, it was heartfelt, it was powerful, and it captured our hearts from the opening scene. These tickets were purchased for my father who grew up in Ybor City, Florida - Cigar City! He grew up listening to this music and later enjoyed the revival of these musicians. We celebrated their world tour and applauded every award and recognition. They were talented beyond comparison. Thank you for bringing this story to life in such a beautiful way - we LOVED it!"

Spectacular performance
"We had second row seats and they were perfect. We are Cubans from Miami so you might say we were a tough crowd but we felt the actors were well casted. The music was so good we were about to break out in dance. I highly recommend this show for a great fun night out. "

The story behind the music
"I loved it from the moment I entered the theater. The set was very evocative of Old Havana. I've been listening to the album for years but didn't know the whole story behind it. How the album came about is very interesting. The singing and dancing are amazing and during the finale the woman seated next to me got up and danced in the aisle until the usher told her to go back to her seat."

An Honest Review
"BVSClub was an amazing musical. To go further, my husband and sister saw the show twice.
From the opening scene to its closing scene -you will be definitely moving in your seat. The rhythm of Cuban music, musicians, singers, actors, story plot, dancers, costumes , you name it - were all stellar!
It was an incredible representation of semi- fictional story telling with actual tip top musical scores.
I felt like a young child in a candy store absorbing all the show’s excitement through my senses.
Bravo!"

Havana Heat, Heart & Heritage - A Night That Stays With You
"Buena Vista Social Club was everything my Puerto Rican heart needed. From the very first note, the theater turned into a warm Havana night — rhythms, memories, laughter, heartbreak, all of it wrapped in music that felt alive. The live band was extraordinary. I used to sing in a band myself, and there is nothing like musicians who are truly playing from the soul — listening to each other, breathing together, making magic in real time. I felt that here.
The show moves between past and present, honoring the musicians who shaped a sound that carried across generations and borders. The performances were tender and powerful — especially Omara and Ibrahim — and the choreography felt like real Latin social dancing: grounded, joyful, culture first, not just choreography-for-show. It felt familiar. It felt like home.
And listen — Buena Vista Social Club recently performed in Durham, NC at the Carolina Theatre and I am still annoyed that I missed it! After seeing this musical, I’ll be watching tour dates like a hawk. I don’t plan to miss the next one.
For anyone thinking about bringing kids: this show is rich, emotional, and music-driven. It’s best appreciated by adults or older teens who can sit in the feeling of it. It’s not a big, high-energy Broadway spectacle — it’s a story with depth, history, and heart.
I walked out feeling full — full of rhythm, memory, pride, and gratitude for the artists who keep our cultural stories alive.
It’s not just a show. It’s a celebration."
