Beautiful - highly recommend!
"The music was fantastic! The performers — from the musicians to the singers to the dancers were such a joy to experience. The representation of the Afro Latino community on Broadway is beautifully celebrated at BVSC! The theater seats were not the most comfortable, but the view was excellent given that it’s a small theater. "

A Celebration of Soul, Rhythm, and Timeless Cuban Music
"Buena Vista Social Club is an unforgettable celebration of music, culture, and heart. From the very first note, the show pulls you into the soul of Cuba, blending powerful storytelling with extraordinary live music and vibrant performances. The musicians are simply phenomenal — every song feels alive, emotional, and deeply authentic. The energy on stage is contagious, filled with joy, nostalgia, and a profound respect for the legends who shaped this iconic sound. The choreography, visuals, and storytelling beautifully complement the music, creating a moving experience that transcends language and age. This musical is not just a performance — it’s a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the universal power of music to connect people. Truly uplifting, inspiring, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves culture, rhythm, and stories told from the heart. "

Authentic, very high quality play and musical performance
"The show has an incredibly high performance musically. Acting is also very well performed, the cast does a great job at acting, dancing and most importantly, singing. The play is not historically accurate and that may feel confusing."

" A Trip to Cuba"
"The moment it started I felt the authenticity of the musicians and I was transported to Havana, Cuba! The key to every performance is to believe the story you are being told, so I held my breath and they did not disappoint. I fell in love with the cuban vocalist and master guitarist! The Afro-Cuban dancing was exceptional and I could not stay still in my seat! I was lucky enough to see the great Cuban vocalist at the Cape May Jazz festival in her 90's......"

Best Musical on Broadway
"This is the best musical I’ve ever seen on Broadway. The music, dancing, set and costumes are excellent. Not flashy like a Lloyd Weber type show but authentic and visually textured. The performers are incredibly talented and versatile. So much fun and very moving. "

Definitely a must see!
"Great from beginning to end. The singing, acting, dancing and music were flawless. You actually see the dancers feel and breathe the music as they performed, not just dance to it. I love how the play didn't drag and every scene held substance and relevance to the overall story. I wouldn't mind watching it again. "

It's Broadway, but really it's about the music.
"It helps if you have the original Buena Vista Social Club album from 1996. Read the liner notes too, and also watch the movie. Also, read up a bit about the history of the 1959 Cuban revolution. With all of this prep, you will be ready to enjoy the play the best and understand the context of each of the songs that are woven into a typical Broadway plot. All of the singing and performance, and a bit of improvisation are top notch. It just ended too soon! The room is on fire. Blow out the candle!"

"Buena Vista Social Club is an unforgettable experience. The music and storytelling pull at your heart, effortlessly carrying you into another time and place. It makes you want to dance, but it also makes you reflect—on choices, consequences, and how deeply our decisions shape the lives of those we love. My Cuban friend was deeply moved and left in tears."
