The Musical For You If Don’t Like Musicals
"The Afro-Cuban beats provided by the very tight band at the center of this story combined with some exciting dancing made my night. Long after the curtain fell I was boopin’ to the Cuban music. The story was the right mix of nostalgia and snappy dialog to move things from musical number to musically number. The audience feed on the band’s energy to create a nightclub/dancehall vib. Usually you can count on me to come out of a musical saying ‘no mas.’ But the BVSC was a night of high energy fun and great music that should not be missed."

Iconic album brought to life
"I am a long-time fan of the BVSC album/project and I was excited to hear the music performed live. The show exceeded my expectations with the integration of storytelling and compelling characters. The musicianship delivers on the flavor, enthusiasm, and virtuosity of Cuban son. The choreography was so dynamic and engaging that I wished I had more eyes to see all the things that were going on with the different dancers. I want to call out special accolades to the vocalists. Both Omara vocalists have chill-inducing voices that absolutely bring the passion and power of Omara Portuondo. The young Ibrahim Ferrer vocalists also has a beautiful voice and range. The integration of the two timelines was an effective story telling technique and the use of staging of the band gives a visual cue as to which timeline is being told. "
