Once upon a time in Miami a Cuban-born singer met a Cuban-born band leader. Together they changed the face of Latin music. Academy and Golden Award winner (Birdman) Alexander Dinelaris’ ON YOUR FEET! is the story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan and their meteoric rise as one of the most successful crossover teams in music. Seven Grammy Awards and over 100 million records sold and still counting. With direction by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell and choreography by Award winner Sergio Trujillo, it would be difficult to not have a winner on their hands. And they definitely do.
Not only does Ana Villafane look like Gloria but she also sounds like her. Josh Segarra is an endearing Emilio, the man behind the magic. Andrea Burns is Gloria’s strong-willed mother, Alma Cuervo is the grandmother who believed in Gloria before she believed in herself, Alexandrea Suarez is a young Gloria, and scene stealer Eduardo Hernandez takes on the roles of several young men. Throw in hit songs like “123,” “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You,” “Turn The Beat Around,” “Don’t Wanna Lose You,” “Anything For You,” and the title song, and the audience finds it difficult to stay in their seats. Amidst the rhythm and the music, there is a compelling story of undisputed talent, overcoming obstacles, inspiration, love, and belief in oneself. Amazing lighting design by Kenneth Posner and projection design by Darrel Maloney provide the background for this mesmerizing musical. So GET ON YOUR FEET! and buy a ticket to an exhilarating theatrical event.
