A musical based on the 'Buena Vista Social Club' will debut on Broadway next year.


Twenty-seven years ago, the album "Buena Vista Social Club" featuring Cuban music from before the revolution gained unexpected popularity, leading to tours and documentaries. Now, a Broadway musical inspired by the album's creation is set to debut, portraying aging musicians reminiscing about the revolutionary era. The Off Broadway run received mixed reviews, with praise for the music and dance but concerns about storytelling. The show features the original performers and musicians, with a book by Marco Ramirez and direction by Saheem Ali. With a capitalization of $17 million, the lead producers include Orin Wolf, John Styles, and Barbara Broccoli, supported by co-producers such as John Leguizamo, Luis Miranda, and LaChanze.
