  • Notes:
      • This production uses theatrical haze and smoke.
      • The show’s dialogue is in English, while the songs are performed in the original Spanish from the beloved album. But Buena Vista Social Club is truly a show for everyone. The songs enrich the story, infusing it with an authentic Havana heartbeat. You won’t lose the plot if you don’t understand the lyrics – what matters most is how the music makes you feel.

Inspired by the Grammy Award-winning 1997 self-titled album and group of the same name. This new musical tells the story of the legendary artists who recorded the soul-stirring, foot-tapping music of Cuba’s golden age. A tale of big dreams, second chances, and the power of art to help us survive.
