Broadway's ON YOUR FEET! Congas Into 2018 with New Block of Tickets

Producers have announced a new block of tickets has gone on-sale, now through January 14, 2018, for On Your Feet!, the new Broadway musical based on the life story of seven-time GRAMMY-winning international superstar Gloria Estefan and her husband, 19-time GRAMMY-winning producer-musician-entrepreneur Emilio Estefan.

Now in its second smash hit year on Broadway, On Your Feet! opened on Thursday, November 5, 2015, following preview performances which began on Monday, October 5, 2015, at the Marquis Theatre in New York City.

The musical is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Hairspray) and choreographed by Olivier Award winner Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, Memphis) with an original book by Academy Award winner Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman, The Bodyguard Musical).

Gloria Estefan has sold over 100 million records and sold out stadiums around the world. Emilio and Gloria Estefan together have won 26 GRAMMY Awards - but their music is only half the story. From the heart of Havana to the streets of Miami came a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the music industry had ever seen.

The Chosen" - as Emilio. The cast also stars Drama Desk Award winner Doreen Montalvo (In The Heights) as Gloria's mother, Gloria Fajardo; Alma Cuervo (Beauty and the Beast) as Gloria's grandmother, Consuelo; Madison Elizabeth Lagares & Amaris Sanchez as Little Gloria; and Eduardo Hernandez & Kevin Tellez as Nayib/Young Emilio.

With Music Direction by Lon Hoyt (Hairspray), Orchestrations by Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan, Dance Arrangements and Dance Orchestrations by Oscar Hernandez (The Capeman), the On Your Feet! Orchestra will include several members of Miami Sound Machine.

This fall, the hit Broadway musical will launch a 31-city First National Tour with a Grand Opening in the Estefans' home city of Miami, Florida. The musical will play the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts from October 5-15, 2017, and continue to such cities as Los Angeles, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, and San Diego, with many others soon to be announced.
