Along the way they fall in love, overcome racist recording execs, and struggle with disapproving family members. If it weren't true, the Estefan's story would sound like a clichéd soap opera: Two hard-working, talented Cuban-American kids make their way from unknowns to global superstars. Estefan's global appeal is rooted in Latin-, pop-, and punk-infused earworms such as "Conga" and "The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You." The music is ridiculously infectious, and its backstory is a life-affirming testament to the American Dream. You will, in fact, be on your feet before intermission.
Punctuated by eye-popping dance numbers and defined by emotional intensity, On Your Feet! has the makings of a smash. In the show's pre-Broadway run in Chicago, that story is bursting with heart and heat.
There's a potent combination of intimacy and spectacle in On Your Feet!, the new bio-musical about multiplatinum recording artist Gloria Estefan and her longtime husband and manager, Emilio.
