The multi award winning and acclaimed production of BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB is bringing its infectious joy and Cuban musicianship to stages worldwide, including the West End in 2027.
This weekend, the Tony-winning musical will be performed simultaneously at the Schoenfeld Theater on Broadway, the Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas, TX, the Antonio Paoli Festival Hall at the Centro de Bellas Artes in Puerto Rico, and the Teatro de los Insurgentes in Mexico City. These four unique companies, mounted in record time from the Broadway debut, are illustrative of the popularity of this celebrated music and the reach it has to audiences worldwide.
BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB has made history since opening on Broadway in March 2025, becoming the first musical to feature a score sung entirely in Spanish and attracting the highest number of Hispanic ticket buyers in the history of The Shubert Organization.
The legendary music, performed by a world-class, Tony Award-winning band, has propelled BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB to significant critical acclaim, a Grammy Award, and five Tony Awards.
In 2027, Buena Vista Social Club will open in the West End in London and play its final performance on Broadway on 17 January.
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.
Lead producer Orin Wolf said: “From our very first trip to Cuba to meet the musicians who created this masterpiece, I knew we had something truly special, something to cherish. I am in awe of what Marco R., Saheem, Patricia, Justin, David, Marco P. and Dean have created artistically, bringing this extraordinary music to life on stage and presenting the first Broadway score performed exclusively in Spanish. I am deeply grateful for the time we’ve had on Broadway – and the speed with which the team has created three more productions. We are thrilled the Broadway production is on schedule to recoup as we look ahead to an exciting tour, special engagements in Mexico and Puerto Rico, and so much more.”
