Info

Buena Vista Social Club isnt just a musical, its a rhythm-fueled journey through Havanas past, set to the iconic sounds of the legendary ensemble. With a book by Marco Ramirez and a score packed with the irresistible beats of Son, Danzón, and Bolero, this show brings Cubas musical legacy to life like never before.Spanning from the 1950s to the 1990s, the story follows four musicians as they navigate the sweeping changes of Fidel Castros Cuba, their struggles under communism, and the extraordinary moment in 1997 when they came together to create the GRAMMY®-winning Buena Vista Social Club album. And yesthe music is performed entirely in Spanish, adding to its authenticity and soul-stirring power.After a celebrated Off-Broadway run, where it racked up nominations for Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel, and Drama League Awards, Buena Vista Social Club has now arrived on Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. Under the direction of Tony nominee Saheem Ali and choreography by Patricia Delgado & Justin Peck, this is a show pulses with passion, and sizzling Cuban beats.
