Presidential Medal Of Honor recipient Gloria Estefan stopped by CBS's LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT and explained how coming to this country with her parents as a refugee from Cuba has given her some insight into how we should respond to the current Syrian refugee crisis. Watch clips from the appearance below!

On Your Feet! is the new musical based on the LIFE STORY of seven-time GRAMMY winning international superstar Gloria Estefan and her husband, legendary producer-musician-entrepreneurEmilio Estefan.

Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Hairspray), On Your Feet! tells the story of two people who - through an unwavering dedication to one another and their pursuit of the American dream - showcased their talent, their music and their heritage to the world in a remarkable rise to global superstardom. Set to Gloria's chart-topping, smash hits such as "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You," "Conga," "1-2-3," "Get On Your Feet," "Don't Want To Lose You Now," and "Coming Out Of The Dark," in addition to new music penned by the Estefans, the musical will be choreographed by four-time Drama Desk nominee Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, Memphis) with a book by Academy Award nominee Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman film, The Bodyguard Musical).

Ana Villafañe makes her Broadway debut as Gloria Estefan opposite Josh Segarra as Emilio Estefan. On Your Feet! opened on Broadway on Thursday, November 5, 2015, at the Marquis Theatre in New York City.
