Meet the Musical: Buena Vista Social Club™
Music, moments, and must-know details before opening night in Orlando

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 real sound of Havana is born–and one woman discovers the music that will change her life forever. Inspired by true events, five-time Tony Award®-winning 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 band joins a sensational cast of musicians, actors and dancers from across the globe for an authentic experience unlike any you’ve seen or heard before.

“A jaw-dropping, soul-stirring must-see!” (The Washington Post).

Experience the tale of big dreams, second chances and the unbreakable bonds of making music together that captivated Broadway.

• You’re drawn to music-forward performances where live musicians are a central part of the experience, not just background accompaniment. The rhythms, vocals, and instrumentation are front and center, creating a rich, immersive atmosphere.
• You enjoy stories rooted in real cultural history and human connection. The show celebrates legacy, artistry, and the power of music to bring people together across generations.
• You appreciate a theatrical experience that feels intimate, soulful, and emotionally driven rather than flashy or spectacle-heavy. It’s the kind of show that invites you to slow down, listen closely, and truly feel the moment.

The Cast of Buena Vista Social Club: Tiny Desk Concert

Based on real-life events and people, Buena Vista Social Club features many characters and lots of great Cuban music. It takes such skill to reflect music of a bygone era, even more to sound fresh and vibrant night after night for months at a time. Scaled down for the Tiny Desk, the show is no less magical.
