INCREDIBLE SHOW!!!
"Buena Vista Social Club was an incredible experience all around. Already familiar with the music, but not so much the storyline, this production wove all of the pieces together so beautifully - the music, the choreography, the cast and the set. I cannot wait to enjoy this experience again and have been raving about it since I walked out of the theater! BRAVO to such incredible performers, and those who make it happen behind the scenes, and THANK YOU for continuing to keep humanity alive through music and the arts! ❤️"

Brought back memories
"The show blew my mind! It was not only very moving and brought back feelings of nostalgia, joy and celebration but it was also a great reminder of the beauty of our people. Incredible, from the stage design, custom design, to the amazingly talented voices and hands that told stories you can only tell through music. Thank you for the representation, for the charitable work you do, and for reminding us of the warmth of our people. "

Not the original artists -- but close!
"I loved the Buena Vista Social Club CD when it first came out. We went to see them perform at Carnegie Hall in the '90s. This show and this cast bring these artists, their stories, and their wonderful music back to life -- vividly, believably, movingly. Don't miss it!"

Wish I could play an instrument
"Never before have I been so enthralled watching a musical performance. The musicians absolutely blew me away with their skill and professionalism and clear joy as they played song after song, one better than the next. The singing and dancing was equally magical and infectious. If only I could move my hips the way the dancers do. Spending a Sunday afternoon at La Buena Vista Social Club was the perfect antidote to the stressful news of the day. I was ready to go back to the theater the very next day. So glad I made the choice to see this."

Longtime Buena Vista Social Club Fans, Enamored with Broadway Musical
"As longtime Buena Vista Social Club fans who have been devoted to their story for so long, this was a beautiful telling of the brave, talented musicians. It was emotional, it was heartfelt, it was powerful, and it captured our hearts from the opening scene. These tickets were purchased for my father who grew up in Ybor City, Florida - Cigar City! He grew up listening to this music and later enjoyed the revival of these musicians. We celebrated their world tour and applauded every award and recognition. They were talented beyond comparison. Thank you for bringing this story to life in such a beautiful way - we LOVED it!"

Spectacular performance
"We had second row seats and they were perfect. We are Cubans from Miami so you might say we were a tough crowd but we felt the actors were well casted. The music was so good we were about to break out in dance. I highly recommend this show for a great fun night out. "

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.
