  Fabulous production. Excellent music, very lively atmosphere and a touching story to accompany the music. Music and dancing were equally fabulous.

  This was Broadway at its best. I chose Buena Vista Social Club because this is the music I grew up with. The interpretations were flawless, the whole crew is wonderful, musicians, singers, dancers. We had a great time.

  All I can say is wow. Wow wow. Regardless of your upbringing or where you are from from the minute to show opens the Music makes you feel like you were at the Buena Vista Social Club. In spite of being born in the United States, I felt that music, and I felt the plate of the storyline. You could hear during the musical during the sad times people, weeping, but the rest of the time. If you looked around the theater people were almost dancing in their seats. I cannot wait to bring my kids to see this. This is one of those musicals that if you are a musician, you will adore., if you are into history, it’s amazing. The dancing was superb. Every piece of this musical evoked a feeling of being in Cuba. I can’t wait to see it again.

  This was the best show I’ve seen in years. Every single cast member was superb and the music…… It was like being at a concert. No wonder the musicians won a special Tony award. Joyous, hopeful and heartfelt- just an amazing show!

  REVIEW: “Buena Vista Social Club” at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on July 5, 2025. I had never seen as long a line of ticket holders as I did for the Saturday matinee performance of this vibrant musical, and it was refreshing to see the rich ethnic diversity of the crowd. The moment the music started onstage I could see what brought people out and pay Broadway ticket prices to experience this show. A group of gathering musicians started playing “El Carretero”, and the cast was casually assembling onstage getting into the sound. It became clear from the outset that the music would be centerstage. The 1997 album that inspired this show has long been on my playlist, so most of the music sounded familiar. Directed by Saheem Ali with a book by Marco Ramirez, the Havana-set story bounced back and forth between pre-revolutionary 1956 and 1996 when a young producer tried assembling his favorite older musicians to record the namesake album. The early focus was primarily on Omara, the younger sibling of a singing sister act. Although her sister had them lined up for a record contract in the U.S., she met a trio of young musicians she never spoke with before even though they’ve played back-up for her in the past. They hung out and played at the Buena Vista, a club in an across-the-tracks neighborhood which her family disapproves. The early scenes featured colorful costumes and some wonderful choreography, though the dialogue and dramatic situations were a bit clunky and heavy-handed. Of course, the imminent threat of revolution changed everything, and we find out in the more resonant 1996 scenes what happened to everyone. Omara had become somewhat imperious as a retired recording legend which Natalie Venetia Belcon fulfilled perfectly. Isa Antonetti played the youthful Omara with grace and spirit, especially in the dance numbers. The rest of the cast is fine, but it was truly the musicians who stole the show from start to finish.

  We just loved this play. The story, the singers, musicians, dancers and set designs were fantastic. We'd go see it again in a heartbeat. It was beyond amazing.
