What a show!
"BVSC was a party from the opening seconds! Incredible musicians, wonderful voices, amazing dancing, and infectious energy! Wish we spoke Spanish so we could have understand the lyrics to all the songs - though this didn’t mean we enjoyed the show any less. I’m not sure about this show for kids, just because I don’t know how engaging it would be for them (and there is some yelling, but no foul language).
So glad we saw this show! "

Don't pay any mind to the 'Professional' reviews.
"It was all incredible. This was based on a true story and told by real musicians for the most part, not professional Broadway actors. I saw some reviews by snotty nosed experts.........complaining about this show being nominated for Tony awards. Screw them and the awards......this is as good as it gets. Entertaining, like Mamma Mia."

If you love Afro- Cuban music, this is it❗
"I loved every minute of it! Bcuz I am an older adult, I understand the history of those times. I loved the set, the costumes, the dancers moved like ballerinas and the music is Top Shelf! But then, I love Afro- Cuban music and it was a breath of fresh air to see it on a Broadway stage! Bravo Broadway ❗"

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.
