A Beautiful Tribute to a Timeless Musical Legacy
"As someone who has been listening to Buena Vista Social Club for years, this show was deeply moving and wonderfully nostalgic. Hearing these iconic songs performed live on Broadway brought back so many memories while introducing them in a fresh and captivating way. The cast was outstanding, the musicians were phenomenal, and the energy on stage was infectious from beginning to end. The choreography, storytelling, and live music blended seamlessly, creating an experience that felt authentic, joyful, and emotionally powerful. Even if you’re not familiar with the original album, the performances alone make this show worth seeing. This was my very first Broadway show, and I couldn’t have chosen a better one. I left the theater smiling, humming the songs, and already wanting to see it again. An unforgettable celebration of Cuban music, culture, and the enduring legacy of Buena Vista Social Club. Highly recommended."

A latin music extravaganza
"What a moving experience! Latin music played on the highest level. As a puertorrican who loves cuban music I felt many emotions during the perfect presentation: the joy of great music perfectly executed, the sadness of a people suffering from an economic blockade."

Fire in your heart, fire in your feet!
"This show brought back so many memories. I saw the documentary many years ago, and saw the original members of the Buena Vista Social Club perform live. They were mind blowing then. This show—depicting the story of their lives—is bursting with talent and stunning music! It fills your heart and soul as much as your body, and lifts you to your feet to move and groove to the rhythms. So beautiful and inspiring!"

Among the best shows
"Buena Vista Social Club was perfect from start to finish. The music and dance are the main event with the storyline expertly woven in between. This show electrifies the audience and you can’t help but roar at the end of each piece. The solos will remain in your mind and soul long after the music stops. If you choose only one Broadway show to see, it must be this celebration of Cuban music and dance, Buena Vista Social Club."

Loved it!
"This is a terrific show with some of the best music on Broadway, in my opinion. The cast and musicians are SO talented and the music really does take you to a place and time that’s still relevant and should be experienced by all, no matter where you’re from. I appreciated the dialogue in English, but you don’t need to know Spanish (which I don’t) to be carried away by the emotion of the music. Bravo!"

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.
