It’s been years since legendary singer Omara Portuondo last entered a recording studio. Once known as  the “Queen of Feeling,” her voice was celebrated throughout Cuba – until she vanished from the  spotlight. But when an ambitious young record producer brings her a rare opportunity, the elusive  diva must finally reckon with her past.  

Hailed as a "jaw-dropping, soul-stirring must-see" (The Washington Post), BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™  is a journey through music and memory into the beating heart of Havana. A world-class company brings  the story of the iconic album to thrilling life in this tale of big dreams, second chances, and music that  needs no translation.  

BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ won 5 Tony Awards® including Best Performance by an Actress in a  Featured Role in a Musical (Natalie Venetia Belcon), Best Sound Design of a Musical (Jonathan Deans),  Best Choreography (Patricia Delgado & Justin Peck), and Best Orchestrations (Marco Paguia). A Special  Tony Award® was awarded to the musicians who make up the band of Buena Vista Social Club, and the  Original Broadway Cast Recording received the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.  

With a book by Tony® Nominee Marco Ramirez (Drama Desk Award, The Royale), Tony®-nominated  director Saheem Ali (Fat Ham) leads an ensemble of visionary performing artists, including a band of  renowned musicians from across the globe to tell the legendary story of the artists who recorded the  original album. BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ features the soul-stirring music of Cuba’s golden age,  choreography by Tony Award® winners Patricia Delgado and Justin Peck (Illinoise, Steven Spielberg's  West Side Story).    

On Broadway, the band of BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ features creative consultation by David Yazbek,  music supervision by Dean Sharenow, orchestrations and arrangements and music direction by Tony  Award® winner Marco Paguia, additional arrangements by Javier Diaz and David Oquendo, music  consultation by Juan de Marcos.

BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ and WORLD CIRCUIT RECORDS released the show’s Grammy® Award winning Original Broadway Cast Recording, produced by Dean Sharenow and David Yazbek. The album  is co-produced by Marco Paguia and Orin Wolf, and Executive Produced by Allan Williams.
