Carlos Gonzalez
Currently in: Buena Vista Social Club
Carlos E. Gonzalez. Associate Choreographer / Swing / Understudy Juan de Marcos, Young Compay & Young Rubén / Dance Captain. Carlos was born and raised in Bayamo, Cuba. He emigrated after his mother won the United States visa lottery and went on to graduate from Montclair State University with a BFA in Acting. After graduation, Carlos performed in several shows, including the national tour of In the Heights and the Off-Broadway sensation Fuerza Bruta. On Broadway, he was part of the workshops and original casts of On Your Feet, and the Ivo Van Hove revival of West Side Story. Other credits include the film versions of In the Heights, Tick…Tick…Boom! and Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. Carlos’ relationship to the performing arts has continued to deepen in Cuba as well. He returned to Cuba in a creative role for the productions of Carmen La Cubana and Rent—which was the country’s first Broadway musical produced by an American company in more than 50 years and is featured in the documentary Revolution Rent on HBO. He has also begun leading trips to Cuba with the purpose of connecting and enriching artists, under the name @TravelTheArtistWay. Being part of the BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB™ production is a dream come true for Carlos, especially as it unites his roots in hearing these songs in the countryside of Cuba and getting to collaborate on the choreography as the associate to Justin Peck and Patricia Delgado. To step onto the Broadway stage to the words of these history-making songs in Spanish, representing his culture and homeland, will be an honor. Carlos is grateful to his husband for supporting him in doing this show and would like to dedicate this performance to his daughter Marina as she begins her journey in this world, and to the many creative artists who still find ways to create in Cuba today.
