Samuel S from Los angeles on Oct 12, 2025
It worked for me
"Some reviewers think the story line is simple. Some might be put off by the English spoken narrative and the songs in Spanish. I urge you to stick with it. And enjoy the intentional humour as well as the sound and musicianship of the cast. (It must be even more enjoyable if you're fluent in both languages.) If you are not aware of the history, it helps in understanding the story line to do some basic research on the background/key events of Cuba's national story in the 50's and 60's before you go: Just to appreciate the painful, personal, politically-charged choices people were forced to make for themselves and others around them at the time. The narrative may be partially fictional, as acknowledged in the opening monologue. But it is good to remember that sometimes fundamentalist politics of any sort is a wheel that blindly crushes and penalises individuals for their choices over decades. That the show is ultimately a triumph of the human spirit is a blessing for all of us. Enjoy."

Pure joy from start to finish
"This show was absolutely incredible. The talent of the dancers, musicians, and singers was on another level — truly mind-blowing. Every performance left me in awe. The choreography was so beautiful it even made me a little emotional (which says a lot, since it’s not even meant to be emotional, haha). The whole vibe was pure feel-good energy — we had huge smiles on our faces from start to finish.
Even though I don’t speak Spanish and wasn’t familiar with Cuban music, I came away with a whole new appreciation for Hispanic music and culture. I’d genuinely recommend this to everyone, no matter your background — it’s an unforgettable experience."

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.
