"Great music and performance. It was amazing! My eleven year old twins girls loved it too. It’s very nostalgic for all Cubans and somehow it reflects the story of many Cubans family over the last 60 years. I enjoyed the show and I was able to move and sing from my chair! Loved it "

Music for the soul
"After seeing Buena Vista Social Club we wanted to turn around and buy tickets to see it again and again ! The most fabulous and authentic musicians bring together this story about Cuba and it's music, in a span of 20 years, in a way that the play just flows and you don't want it to end. Highly recommended to all that love and appreciate latin music. Top actors, dancers and the best music ever !"

Buena Vista Social Club
"Everything about this show was AMAZING!! The music, the performers brought back so many memories of our childhood!! The essence and charismatic personality of the Cuban (hispanic) culture was proudly represented. The energy and talent level of cast member was phenomenal. The role of "Compay" is performed by a dear school friend, the talented Julio Monge, what an HONOR for our island and culture. This show is a repeat! BRAVO!!!"

Dive into the Cuban Nostalgic sounds
"The play was outstanding. They did a great job in blending original music arrangements with great acting. Telling the story of the pulse on how the original Cuban sound was created. Through the stories of the original band members. I had an opportunity to meet Eliades Ochoa in Miami last year and he would've been proud on how he was portrayed in the play.
A must see in Broadway !"

Closest thing to traveling back in time (to the 90s)
"I loved this music when it first came out to most of us in the 1990s. Now, hearing it performed live the way it should be heard. Amazing. The choreography and the narrative of the musical was very engaging.
But the best thing was the musicians. I don’t dance. No rhythm at all. This had me dancing and I hate audiences that dance in their seats!"
