Excellent show, professionally staged and the cast is marvelous! I went with my son who is of Cuban heritage but is not familiar with the music, and he loved it!

Wow what a fabulous show, the Latin music and dancing were incredible. If you are able to see it , do it. This was my favorite show I've seen in years.

Based on real events, it follows legendary Cuban artists across decades of cultural change up to their iconic, record-breaking 1997 album collaboration.

Seamlessly blends rich English dialogue with Cuba’s iconic, original Spanish-language classics.

Crowned with 4 Tonys and a 2026 Grammy, this Saheem Ali hit features a stellar live band and Tony-winning Afro-Cuban dance!

Transport yourself straight to Havana with sizzling Son, Danzón, and Bolero classics—catch the show at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre today!

The story

In 1950s Havana, four young musicians ignite the golden age of Cuban music. Decades later, with their youth behind them and their art nearly forgotten, they reunite in a 1996 studio for an unexpected second chance. Racing against time, they record the Grammy-winning album that captured the world's heart. Ready to witness this true musical resurrection? Only one way to find out.
