About the show

In 1950s Cuba, singer Omara Portuondo meets musicians Compay Segundo and Rubén González, who invite her to perform with them at the Buena Vista Social Club. Omara becomes a regular performer there until rebels seize control of the Cuban government and close the nightclub. Forty years later, music producer Juan de Marcos invites these musicians to reunite to record an album preserving the legacy of the Cuban music they innovated. This show is based on a true story that also inspired a band, an album and a documentary, all named Buena Vista Social Club. The story is told in a nonlinear fashion and goes back and forth in time. All the dialogue is in English but most of the songs are performed in Spanish with no subtitles.

Running time: 2 hours and 10 minutes including intermission
