"What a night! The beautiful music of the social club in a journey to the history of Cuba felt and lived in the characters. Voices and instruments are marvellous, past and present, light and shadows! Love it. Recommending strongly "

It made me cry
"I am a cuban who left the island many years ago. This music brought back many memories and feelings.
Amazing cast all around. Have been twice to see the show and have also taken my grown children. We all enjoyed it thoroughly.
I could go for the third round."

Rythm & Story
"The songs are all in Spanish so I’m sure a Spanish speaker would absolutely love it and so it seemed. I enjoyed the authenticity and the story but felt I missed something and wasn’t thrilled overall. "

Spanish Music Only
"Play was very good but not knowing Spanish I missed out on most of it which is the Spanish songs. I would have gone to another play had I known."

bad,bad,bad.
"i did not like it. they were not singing, they were screaming. which made vulgar. too much scenery. looks like all the dregs of the storage , were brought out. regarding choreography, Mr. Peck has no idea how a rumba, guaracha .conga, son or cha cha are danced. the arms movements were ridiculos and out of place and finally saddle shoes in Cuba were only worn by girls in expensive private schools.

Sorry but I didn’t like it
"Lots of talking and very little showmanship…at times it was sleepy. They should add more dancing; it was very poor, I'm sorry but I didn't like it."

Wasn’t what I was expecting.
"Talent amazing, story was dry. Not really about the cuba revolution. It was more about love. "

Not my cup of tea
"Every songs in Spanish. The Playbill translation of the general meaning of each song is helpful, but in the dark you can’t read it… and can’t remember which song was about which topic. Dancing and voices were good but not much plot. "

2x's A Charm
"I saw the show twice. The first time I loved it. The second time I took my best friend to see it because she is Cuban. And she loved it also. She said she remembers her Mom playing the music when she was a child. Plus I like that fact that this play was based on an a person that is still alive."

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.
