Cuban music musical opens at Fox Theatre

The Broadway musical Buena Vista Social Club opened its Atlanta run at the Fox Theatre on October 28. The production holds a one-week engagement through November 1 under the 2026-2027 Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta season.

The show received ten Tony Award nominations last year. It secured four competitive wins and one special award. The story follows real-life Cuban musicians who recorded a hit album in 1997. That album later inspired an Academy Award-nominated documentary. The musical includes Grammy-winning songs by the group.

Karmine Alers performs as Omara Portuondo. Alers has previously appeared in Rent and On Your Feet!. Mauro Castillo plays Ibrahim Ferrer. Castillo is known to audiences as the voice of Uncle Félix in Disney's Encanto. Isabel Gonzales plays Young Omara. Gonzales recently appeared in the world premiere of Basura at the Atlanta Alliance Theatre.

Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Saturday shows begin at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances start at 1:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available through the Broadway in Atlanta website.
