Emotional play for a Cuban
"I caught my Cuban husband wipe the tears from his eyes as the intermission lights came up. He could not help it, the play was very emotional. The music was powerful! The musicians were incredible and the singing, wonderful! This was a 65th birthday present to my husband who fled Cuban when he was just 26 days old. I made a very good gift choice, it will be remembered for years. "

Moving and entertaining performance!
"I have seen many Broadway shows over the years however, I found the Buena Vista Social Club to be moving and entertaining. Given that my parents are both Cuban and I was raised in Miami listening to stories and Cuban music, I was deeply moved by how the Portuondo sisters were separated by the revolution, yet both decided to follow their passion. Omara chose to make music about the Cuban struggle and her sister chose freedom from the revolution. The singing and musical performances were powerful and entertaining. The lead guitarist was absolutely phenomenal! Cheers to the full cast an performers of the BVSC!"

Just could be my favorite Broadway show ever
"This show totally captivated the audience. No fidgeting or distracted looking viewers. Extraordinarily talented instrumentalists, especially the pianist and guitarist, who were totally absorbing when they played. The choreography was colorful, vibrant, complicated and yet amazingly precise. Pitch perfect, wide ranging vocals. A treat for the eyes and ears."

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."

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.
