Wonderful Musical Story

Raymond S from Lithia on Apr 11, 2025

Fabulous

"The music and musicians were fantastic! The singing, dancing and costumes were equally so. Highly recommend it. I was sad when it ended. Don’t miss it. "

Celia G from New York on Apr 11, 2025

brilliantly performed

"The whole show was engaging. the audience was emotionally engaged. The lady next to me sang or hummed almost all the songs and it was wonderful. I was not surprised to see families with young children in the audience - either giving them a visual history lesson or keeping them updated. I also witnessed an emotional breakdown of a patron who must have been overcome with memories. This was my first of many more shows on Broadway."

Loved it!

"Took my Puerto Rican mother for her birthday and it was incredible experience for both of us. Thank you to the writers for telling stories that we can relate to and with creatives that look like us. The talent was incredible. We both watched with pride, danced in our seats and did not want the show to end."

Buena Vista rocks!

"The best play I have ever seen on Broadway. The music, the actors, and the musicians were all incredible. People cried and people danced. The best play ever! "

IYKYK -- Outsize Cultural Influence For Such a Small Country

"The music. The multigenerational musicians embodied the music in a transparent and evocative way that allowed the energy from the ancestors to pulse through with crystalline clarity. Oh, and the voices! Natalie Venetia Belcon. For two short hours, Belcon was the tia, the Oracle, the Divine one, for the entire audience. Diva! Isa Antonetti, Young Omara, is one to watch. Confident and strong. The casting / pairing of Young and Old Omara was excellent -- especially when they were both on stage together. The show struck such an emotional chord, I will see it again. "

Frank W from Houston on Apr 7, 2025

Fantastic show

"The music and dancing were first rate. The time and place were beautifully captured. Thank you for transporting me back to Havana."

Janet L from Washington on Apr 6, 2025

remarkable music, dance, and overall performance

"I loved everything -- the music, the band, the dancers, the singers, the plot, the "singing with feelings" which was so evident by all performers. Truly one of the best Musicals I've watched ever. "

A proud Cuban daughter

"My sisters and I loved it all! The music was fantastic. The acting, vocals, musician were superb. Omara both young and old was amazing. It was funny in so many ways. For us it was deep and very real. It hit us right in the heart. It is a two hour history lesson of the love for family, friends, country and Music. For Cubans like us, our parents, aunts, uncles, cousins who lived the times, exiled to the USA and were raised with the stories of the revolution and sacrifices so many Cubans made…this show will most definetly hit home. As for non Cubans, go see it, don’t think twice. Go listen to the story, feel the powerful music. It is worth every Pennie. I can’t wait to take my children to see this show. "

Dancing in My seat for a better part of this show.

"I can’t get enough of it. Saw it off Broadway and now again. Can’t decide which version was best. Maybe off Broadway since there was room to dance in the aisle. 😉 Plenty of familiar faces on both spectrums. Great show! I’ve been a fan of theatre my entire life and cannot recall a show better than this one. MY all time FAVORITE hands down. "

raul h from cortlandt manor on Apr 6, 2025

Great music and dancing!

"Excellent job providing historical context of Cuba in the late 1950s and including thoughtful and engaging music and dance to help tell the story. The show’s artists — the musicians, dancers and actors —were all amazing! Also, the transitions between future and past were very well done. Loved every minute of the show! FYI - The theatre is on the smaller side. "

Cuban Jazz for today

"This is not a deep dive into Cuban culture, rather it showcases stellar performers and great tunes from the Cuban playbook of the past. Just know why you should see and hear it - its the music and the performances. I would go again."

J David A from San Diego on Apr 5, 2025

Fun and amazing music

"We liked everything, great songs, great dancing, great band, adequate story. Latin music, particularly Cuban son and boleros at its best "

Amazing music and acting, which make me wanna dance in my chair

"The story made me relive my childhood. I am a Peter Pan kid who arrived in the United States in 1962 separated from my parents. This was the music that I grew up with the dancing that I enjoy. it really made me cry."

Broadway.com Customer on Apr 3, 2025

Very moving

"Buena Vista Social Club was a powerful glimpse into the trials and tribulations facing Cubans during the revolution. Despite the desperate times, the story did not lose its sense of humor and love. The singers, dancers and musicians were powerful, moving me tears. 5 stars! "

Linda C from Pinecrest on Apr 3, 2025

A lively and enjoyable experience!

"The music was excellent and the performers did an amazing job at acting, singing and dancing. We only regret that we couldn’t dance in the aisles. "

Eugenia A from Dallas on Apr 2, 2025

U can’t miss it

"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 "

Denisse M from Miami on Apr 1, 2025

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 !"
