An enjoyable time from beginning to end to end!
"This wonderful story of how important has music been for Cuba and its people, makes anyone enjoy an evening of fantastic music. Even if you aren’t familiar with the music, you want to get up and dance. It definitely puts you in a club in Cuba. This was my last day in NY after 42 wonderful years. I could not have say good bye to this marvelous city in a better way! Thank you NY, and thank you Buenavista Social Club. "

A masterpiece!
"The voices, musicianship and dancing were all exquisite and the story told was so poignant. It was so sad to revisit what Cubans went through in the late 1950’s and the parallel to our current world at large was not lost on me."

It was AWESOME
"Music was definitely the best part, the live pit band went OFF the entire show. The plot made me feel every emotion possible, from sadness to hopeful to in awe. I've only seen a few Broadway shows, but this was definitely the best one I've seen!"

Absolutely fabulous entertainment!
"Loved the music and energy of the performers! The musicians appeared to be having fun which made me have fun! The choreography had too many lifts for my taste, not typical Cuban dancing. However, the dancers executed this choreography very well. Highly recommend seeing it!"

Best show I’ve ever seen
"Simply amazing. First and foremost, the music and skill of all the performers is beyond incredible. There was barely a minute where I wasn’t moving in my seat. The story is told in such a gripping way with terrific dancing that emphasizes the feelings. You don’t need to be Spanish or a big fan of Latin music to throughly enjoy the show. But if you are Latino and a fan of our music the way I am, this will hit you in a very special way. I saw it twice and will definitely go again!"

Captivating production featuring brilliant performances
"Our favourite for the moment. Music and sets were perfection. Dialogue delivery was clear and audible. The actors in particular seem so committed to the theme and story that as an audience we were drawn in and transported. Walked out humming the tunes and smiling."

Front row is the place to be.
"Truthfully this was the most scintillating show my wife and l have been to in a long time. My wife and our friend, like us from the Caribbean but living in NY for a long time where both heavily involved in dance for almost 40 years and witnessing the energy of the performers particularly from the front row really gave us a sense that we were actually in the Club. My wife has sight issues at the moment which was why we chose the front row when normally we would sit mid centre However our positioning was absolutely perfect. The music, the acting and particularly the dancing was really on cue. The energy of the performers really made one feel you were part of the experience. It is such a pity that political realtions between Cuba and the US are not on better terms and hopefully one day there will be an improvement in that arena, in the meantime anyone coming to this show will witness a true Latin Cultural Extravaganza that takes the roof off. Congratulations to the cast and the producers for a truly memorable happening!"

I absolutely loved this show!
"This was one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have seen many, many Broadway musicals. I knew the music of the Buena Vista social club before seeing the show, and I love it, but seeing this show made it even more wonderful. The singers were fantastic, the dancers were superb, and the musicians were beyond belief! If I had the money and I didn’t live so far away I would see it over and over again. It was a truly exceptional work of art! "

Wow!
"We were a bit skeptical about a show with lyrics only in Spanish which we do not speak, but wow! Talent abounds in this performance. The singing and dancing are just exceptional. The audience is further treated to the amazing talent in the band which adds its own layer of entertainment. The story is poignant but left us all feeling uplifted - and wanting to watch the show all over again. We attend musical theatre productions with frequency, but this show is truly something special. We have already been actively recommending it! "

Song, dance, music...so VIBRANT! This musical made me want to dance!
"What an outstanding performance from ALL performers! They set the stage on fire with the amazing Cuban music and explosive dancing! Such a fun and interesting story of the Buena Vista Social Club and rise and fall of Cuba with the Cuban Revolution. But how the people and music can bring it back. Loved this musical! Would highly recommend!"
