Why you should go…

This Broadway musical tells the story behind the 1997 Buena Vista Social Club album, following Cuban singer Omara Portuondo and fellow musicians from the 1950s to their reunion. The score is sung in Spanish, with son, danzon and bolero played live by an onstage band that received a special Tony. It plays the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on West 45th Street, a 1917 house that is a city landmark.
