Buena Vista Social Club, the five-time Tony Award-winning musical inspired by the Grammy-winning album, brings the sounds of Havana to life through the story of the legends who lived it. Set in the heart of Cuba, the production follows one woman's discovery of the music that will change her life forever, featuring a world-class band alongside a cast of musicians, actors, and dancers from across the globe. The Washington Post called it "a jaw-dropping, soul-stirring must-see," and the show explores themes of big dreams, second chances, and the bonds forged through making music together.
