Got better as the show went on
"At first wasn't sure about this. Songs were in Spanish, which I don't speak, but as the story unfolded and you begin to put the pieces together, it turned out to be really good. The actors were wonderful, and the band was fabulous. My wife and I left the theater and we couldn't stop talking about the great production. Really glad we went. "

Outstanding musicians and singers/actors
"This was some of the best music making that I have ever heard. While it is hard to single out performers, the guitarist, trumpet and flutist were among the best of the best and I have heard a lot. Overall they just made you want to go dancing which I think is what club music at its finest is about."

Prepare to be totally immersed in outstanding talent & entertainment!g
"Loved the lively Latin music, dancing, storyline and the exceptional talent of musicians, dancers, & vocalists. Outstanding casting.
Wish the Playbill included English translation for the lyrics of the songs performed. The emotion of each song was conveyed through performance but hearing the story through the lyrics would have made it better for this English speaking patron.

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.
