This inspiring true story about heart, heritage, and two people who believed in their talent -and each other - has already won the hearts of audiences and critics alike.  ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN is the exhilarating original musical based on the extraordinary life of 26-time Grammy Award-winning husband-and-wife team Gloria and Emilio Estefan, featuring a book by Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Alexander Dinelaris and a score made up of some of the most loved and iconic songs of the past quarter-century including “Rhythm is Gonna Get You,” “Conga,” “Get On Your Feet,” “Don’t Want To Lose You Now,” “1-2-3,” and “Coming Out of the Dark.”                    

The Cast of ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN will feature Gaby Albo as “Gloria,” Samuel Garnica as “Emilio,” Kristen Tarragó as Gloria Fajardo,” Max Cervantes as “José Fajardo,” Adela Romero as “Consuelo,” Emma Heistand as “Rebecca Fajardo,” Sophia Yacap as “Young Gloria,” Javier Iván as “Young Emilio,” and  Jake Dylan as “Phil.”  The Ensemble will feature Camila Aldet, Miguel Flores, Madelin Marchant, Sara McGuire, María Moreras, Ralphie Rivera De Jesús, Khi’Shawn Robinson, Angelliz M. Rosado Ramos, Cami Taleisnik, Glendaliris Torres-Greaux, Josué Torres Ortiz, and Sebastian Treviño.  The Swings are Brian Márquez, Matt Rivera, and Maya Santiago.

Having begun in Chicago in the summer of 2015, ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN made its Broadway bow that November, played for two years, and received seven Outer Critics Circle Award nominations, three Drama League Award nominations, and a Tony Award® nomination for Best Choreography.

ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN is produced by GFour Productions and Evan Bernardin Productions through a special license from Theatrical Rights Worldwide, and is represented by Columbia Artists Theatricals.  This exciting new production is directed and choreographed by Luis Salgado, who performed in the original Broadway production of ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN and was the Assistant Latin Choreographer of In the Heights on Broadway, which won four Tony Awards®.  In May 2022, Salgado directed and choreographed the world premiere of ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN in Spanish at GALA Hispanic Theatre in Washington D.C. which The Washington Post praised as “boisterous…and dreamlike.”
