The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall is pleased to announce that the Sarasota engagement of the hit Broadway musical ON YOUR FEET! - 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 - is on sale now!
