The musical features the songs of and is inspired by the band of the same name, who formed in the late '90s to revive the Golden Age of Cuban music.
Feel — and see — the rhythm! Check out photos of Buena Vista Social Club on Broadway, now playing at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre after a critically acclaimed world premiere off Broadway with Atlantic Theater Company.
Named for the band that revived the Golden Age of Cuban music, Buena Vista Social Club blends fact and fiction to tell the story of some of the band's musicians. It jumps between the '50s, when these performers were scrappy, young artists whose careers were upended by the Cuban Revolution, and the '90s, when they reunited in the studio to record the band's self-titled album.
The album went on to win a Grammy and spawned an Oscar-winning documentary, also of the same name, before BVSC got the Broadway musical treatment. Hear the vibrant, joyous songs live by getting Buena Vista Social Club tickets!
