The original cast recording features both the Broadway cast and orchestra, with music supervision by Dean Sharenow, orchestrations by Marco Paguia, and additional arrangements by Javier Díaz and David Oquendo. Executive production is credited to Allan Williams.

In addition to its 10 Tony nominations, Buena Vista Social Club™ has already earned two Chita Rivera Awards for choreography and ensemble performance. It was also nominated for three Drama League Awards and recognized by the Outer Critics Circle.

The show originally premiered at Atlantic Theater Company in December 2023. Its transfer to Broadway reflects the continued cultural and commercial resonance of the Buena Vista legacy. The original 1996 album, produced by Ry Cooder with Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos González and British producer Nick Gold, became a global phenomenon, earning a Grammy Award and selling over eight million copies. It helped launch the international careers of Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Rubén González, and Compay Segundo, among others, and inspired the acclaimed 1999 documentary directed by Wim Wenders.

More than a revival, the Broadway adaptation of Buena Vista Social Club™ is a reinvention. It pays homage to a legendary recording while creating something entirely new, infused with theatricality, lived memory, and the percussive heartbeat of a culture still moving forward.
