The fabulous, colourful costumes, worn by these wonderful , agile Cuban woman, strutting the stage with great attitude. Beautifully balanced with just enough grace and precision , matched well by two extremely talented singers from Havana., A truly wonderful experience for everyone...even the kids stood up to clap wishing for an encore! Bravo...

The dancers were amazing. The orchestra, music and sheer professionalism of all the performers left us rejuvenated. We had not expected the singer's solo performances to be so outstanding. The whole experience was amazing. Over 2 hours of pure entertainment. Thank you.

Colourful show full of energy. Such a variety of styles. Slightly confusing plot but kind of irrelevant as it's all about the incredible dancing.

i went with 4 friends to see the show we all enjoyed it a lot, but we felt it just needed someone in the corner to give a brief telling of the scene as stated in the program because you cant read that during the show.

Vamos Cuba was a lighthearted not quite polished performance. Could have done without the juvenile storyline and was left hoping for more authentic salsa moves throughout. Some of the costumes and a couple of the dancers were fabulous. The female vocalist although too loud at times was gregarious and for me the star of the show

Amazing performances, creative set, had me smiling all the way through. The second rumba performance was my favourite, accompanied by brilliant live singing. Definitely a must-see if you love Latin dancing.

Great music, great performers,thought it represented the Cuban people perfectly! Loved the rumba, reggaeton and Santeria sections. Storyline was clear but not distracting and I enjoyed the humour, some subtle, some not so subtle. The singing was amazing. Female costumes were much nicer than the guys' though, my only negative point (other than the very rude latecomer who, having arrived 10 minutes late, proceeded to look at her mobile phone, despite being asked politely twice to switch it off. People - don't do that!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Cuban dance show at Saddler's Wells: excellent dancing, a fantastic band, two outstanding singers and costumes to dye for. I treated my niece and boyfriend to the event, who run a bachata/salsa school in Oxford, and they were equally impressed. Over 2 hours of magnetic entertainment, the dancers' enthusiasm was simply infectious.

Wonderful show, full of energy with songs and dance from very talented people. Think nightclubs, carnival, street dance - this is it!!

This was quite a surprise. A lively colourful show that just zipped along. We were pleasantly surprised as the tickets were very reasonable for a London show. The dancers must have been exhausted at the end of it. They certainly put a lot of enthusiasm into the show.

Disappointed

Having visited Cuba on a number of occasions, I have a very high regard for Cuban culture. 'Vamos Cuba!' was like some throwback to the 1950s, with beautiful chorus girls being paraded before the audience like a meat market. I felt embarrassed to be in that audience and left during the interval.

The musical score was fabulously foot tapping and shoulder shaking. The dancing was on point, energetic and infectious and the scenes (bar a few ropey ones) were entertaining. Well worth a night out.
