On Your Feet! on Tour
Get ready for one of Broadway's most colorful jukebox musicals with On Your Feet! The Story of Emilio & Gloria Estefan. The production is based on the husband-and-wife team who brought Latin pop to the world in the '80s. Together, they've collected dozens of Grammy Awards for their irresistible, Cuban-infused pop, and it's their iconic hits â including "Get on Your Feet," "Conga," "1-2-3" and "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" â that fuel this high-energy show. In between the sizzling dance moves and big pop numbers (brought to life with an onstage band), the cast takes us through the Estefans' powerful love story and inspiring rise to international fame. Emilio and Gloria themselves played a large role in the making of the musical's story and music, of course. Alongside the '80s megahits they made as Miami Sound Machine, the musical showcases several of Gloria's most poignant ballads, plus the original song "If I Never Got to Tell You" with lyrics by Gloria and music by her daughter Emily Estefan.
The story begins with a young Gloria in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami. She meets Emilio Estefan, a member of the Miami Latin Boys (eventually the Miami Sound Machine). As the two grow close â as artists and lovers â tension grows between her and her mother as she tries to juggle time caring for her father who's been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. All the while, Gloria and Emilio push to have their music heard. By Act II, the duo have officially made it. They're churning out hits and traveling the world, until Gloria breaks her back in a near-fatal accident â then rises through adversity to perform again.
On Your Feet! premiered on Broadway in 2015 and is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots) with choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys) and a book by Academy Awardâwinning screenwriter Alexander Dinelaris. Since then, the musical has gone international and toured throughout the US and UK.
I'm not a hard core Gloria Estefan fan but I remember it from my younger days. This show was well done and filled in any details about her rise to fame for anyone with a little less knowledge of her background. The actors and actresses were amazing.
You would've loved the Gloria Estefan show that I went and saw last night. It was awesome. The singing of all the actors was top notch and all of the latin dancing was fantastic.đđşđ˝ I couldn't stop moving in my seat. Lol! Get on your feet and go see this show!
We enjoyed the show! We thought the acting was really good and the singing was wonderful! The play had a high energy vibe!
BEST MUSICAL OF THE SEASON including the Broadway Season in Milwaukee this year. Totally professional, glitzy, great staging and absolutely fantastic singers and songs !!! Too bad it was only in town for one night. Should have been touring with Broadway. It was ânon-equityâ but it should NOT have kept âequity snobsâ away. SENSATIONAL !
The performers were fantastic! Strong singing voices including the younger cast members. This is a brief story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Cuban immigrants trying to make a living doing what they love. There was a lull in the story line when she got hurt and many people started to leave thinking it was the end of the play. At first I thought it was sad way to end but then the cast came out singing a bit of all the hits and it was "Wow". Really got me moving and dancing. Also, the band was great and played for a bit after the cast left the stage and people were leaving. Best line in the play; Emilio telling his promoter, "this is the face of an American!"Brought a tear to this Cuban refugee who has lived in the US all my life. We must remember this country is made up of people from all nations.
"Get On Your Feet"is more than just a tribute to Gloria Estefan; it's a celebration of the immigrant experience, the power of perseverance, and the universal language of music. With its infectious energy, heartfelt performances, and unforgettable soundtrack, this play is a must-see for fans of Gloria Estefan and lovers of musical theater alike. Get ready to dance, sing, and be inspired to get on your feet!
Wonderful, exciting, awesome! Great music, singing and performance!!!
Absolutely loved the play! Great music, beautiful dancing, and perfect actors. I wanted to immediately watch the play again.
What an amazing show. Weâve followed Gloria from when she first hit the scene. This was an amazing depiction of her journey to get there. We learned behind the scenes stories of her struggles to get there, while enjoying her great music and dancing. I highly recommend this show.
All the hits combined with fantastic dancing and good laughs to make for a fun evening with my mom. Not the highest tech or most visually stunning set, but it was Havana in the 1960s.
It was fantastic. Dancing, acting, singing were so well done and enjoyable. Made for a great night out.
I am a great fan of Gloria Estefan's music and so it was wonderful to hear so many of her songs engaged in the plot of the show. The music and dancing were amazing. It wasn't just a singing and dancing show as it did have a plot to follow which is the story of her life which was interesting and also evoked emotion at times with some of the hardships she endured. I simply loved it and was amazed that this show isn't well advertised as it is very good for the price.
The music was great. The cast can sing. The choreography was good. The storyline was moving. Nice job!
The music was great but the audio (talking parts) were hard to hear and we were on main floor.
We loved every minute of this amazing show. The music and dancing were fantastic! Iâm still singing the songs 3 days later. Too bad more people havenât heard about it. I would definitely see again.
Storyline was good. Personally, I would have liked more Miami Sound Machine music and less drama. Stars of the show were professional and very talented. Perhaps cut it down to 2 hrs instead of 2 & 1/2
The show was fun and entertaining! The cast was talented and full of joy. When we were told the show was 2.5 hours long, we were surprised but the time went quickly and we really enjoyed the show.
What a Great show! Very entertaining and enjoyable through and through!
They did this show right - the culture, the background - they got everything right and it was affordable!
The music was amazing, the dancing as well. The story was captivating and it was funny too! Such talent!!
