Buena Vista Social Club - Musical

Buena Vista Social Club - Musical at Connor Palace Theatre

A legendary album, a Broadway stage and a second chance for the music. Buena Vista Social Club arrives at Connor Palace Theatre on Saturday, August 14 with the music and the people behind a legendary album.

The historic Playhouse Square venue gives the show a setting that feels made for a large, music-forward production. Orchestration, voices and ensemble movement can fill the space with color. Broadway materials describe a tale of big dreams and second chances, while the official study guide places it in 1990s Cuba, where the music itself becomes the engine of memory and identity. The story follows Omara Portuondo and the people around her as Havana's past comes back into focus. Songs and emotion carry the drama as much as the dialogue does.

You do not just admire the album from a distance. You hear it breathe, move and hit the stage with a different kind of force. Playhouse Square's Connor Palace Theatre gives the evening a grand downtown Cleveland setting. A Saturday date makes this an easy weekend plan. It lands in the final stretch of the run. Two performances are scheduled for this date, so you can pick the one that suits your day. If you want Broadway with a real musical heartbeat, this is the one.
