"The performance blew me away, and I’m a tough critic. As a Cuban, I am very familiar with Buena Vista Social Club. The musicians were phenomenal; they did the original Buena Vista musicians proud. The actors were equally fantastic and the voices were spot on. Every single one. And the dancing was great. The energy in the musical was unlike anything I have seen in a very long time. The play was just the right length. Do yourself a favor and go see it. You’ll be on a Cuban high for days. "

"This was the greatest birthday gift I could have given myself. The music was absolutely PERFECT! I genuinely felt like I was right there with them at the club, dancing in my seat. The icing on the cake was the extra insert with the playbill, which provided details about each song."

"I knew the story, the emotional pain of the artists over the years, having been to Cuban multiple times. Yes, the capacity to find joy in music, overwhelms. The performers were superb. A friend of mine was a neighbor of Ibrimin Ferrer......who worked as a shoe shine man during the Castro years.......with the voice of an angel. I feel they did a wonderful job of expressing both the joy and sadness

This blew me away!
"I loved every minute of this show. I remember when Buena Vista Social Club came out in the Nineties and it blew me away with the sounds. This opened my world to Latin music. And it did so again at the show. The energy of the theatre is off the charts. I would go back to this show every month if I could."

The Buena Vista Social Club is nothing short of a musical treasure.
"The musicianship is outstanding. You can hear the years of experience and passion in every strum of the guitar, every tap of the conga, and every note sung with such emotion. The vocalists bring the melodies to life with their captivating voices, full of heart and history. From the moment of the first notes, you're enveloped by the warm, nostalgic sound that makes you feel as though you're walking through the streets of Cuba itself. The performances are so rich and soulful that they transcend time, capturing the energy and essence of an era long gone."

Culturally perfect!!!
"The Buena Vista Social Club Broadway show was without question one of the most unforgettable highlights of our trip. We’ve been fans of their music for many years—those timeless rhythms and soulful melodies have been the soundtrack to countless memories—but seeing it performed live on stage was nothing short of magical. The way the music, dance, and storytelling came together brought the spirit of Cuba to life right before our eyes.
What made the night even more special was that it was my wife’s very first Broadway show—and her very first trip to New York City. Watching her take it all in—the lights, the energy, the culture—was an experience I’ll never forget. It was one of those rare moments that remind you how powerful music and art can be in connecting people and creating lasting memories.
We’re truly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an extraordinary evening. This show, and the memories that came with it, will stay with us for a lifetime.
