Step into the heart of Cuba, beyond the glitz of the Tropicana, to a place where blazing trumpets and sizzling guitars set the dance floor on fire. Here, the sound of Havana is born—and one woman's remarkable journey begins. Inspired by true events, the new Broadway musical BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ brings the GRAMMY® Award-winning album to thrilling life—and tells the story of the legends who lived it. A world-class Afro-Cuban band is joined by a sensational cast in this unforgettable tale of survival, second chances, and the extraordinary power of music.
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.
