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. Cast members perform highlights from this unforgettable tale of survival, second chances, and the extraordinary power of music. Prior to Broadway opening, join Marco Ramirez, Saheem Ali, and Patricia Delgado as they discuss their creative process, with performances by the cast.
