World renowned concert performer and recording artist Gloria Estefan has announced plans for the 2015 Broadway debut of a new jukebox musical based on her music, life and career titled On Your Feet.

In addition to the Broadway musical itself, Estefan also plans to star in a reality series tracing the journey of the forthcoming production from auditions to opening night and beyond.

Estefan reveals of the new project, "It's going to be daunting, but I have no doubt whatsoever that we are going to be able to do it and so much fun to be a part of the processes."

Of note, a worldwide search for two actresses to portray the singer as both a teenager and young adult has already begun.

Estefan is considered the most successful Latin music crossover artist of all time, having amassed 7 Grammy Awards and selling more than 100 million records worldwide over the course of her 40-year career. Her international hits include "Conga", "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", "Anything For You", "1-2-3", "Words Get In The Way", "Bad Boy", "Coming Out Of The Dark", "Music Of My Heart" (with *N SYNC) and more - many recorded with the Miami Sound Machine.

So, is the rhythm gonna get you to turn out for a Broadway musical based on Estefan's life and career?
