Buena Vista Social Club in Milwaukee — January 2027
The Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical Buena Vista Social Club brings the rhythms and spirit of Havana to Uihlein Hall at the Marcus Performing Arts Center from January 5 through 10, 2027. Inspired by the legendary 1997 album that introduced the world to Cuba's forgotten musical treasures, this groundbreaking musical takes audiences on a journey through memory, music, and the beating heart of a city that refuses to be silenced.

About Buena Vista Social Club the Musical

The musical imagines the lives, loves, and struggles of the musicians behind the music, set against the backdrop of Havana during a time of profound change.
The show premiered on Broadway and quickly became one of the most celebrated new musicals of the season, winning Tony Awards including Best Musical and Grammy recognition.

The North American touring production launched in September 2026 in Buffalo, New York, and is visiting cities across the continent including Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, and Milwaukee.
