Why see On Your Feet!?

Get On Your Feet This Season!

This theater season, On Your Feet, the sensational Broadway hit, takes its unmistakable beats to the streets and out on a US tour! Be captivated by the music and moved by the story of Latino star Gloria Estefan's rise to fame, told alongside the heart-warming love story of her and her husband Emilio, a pair of Cuban immigrants who traveled to America and became two of the biggest names in the music business!

Loaded with Estefan's infectious pop classics, the show is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell with choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys). The show also features n original song co-written by Gloria and their daughter, Emily. With hits like "Conga," "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" and "Get On Your Feet," we guarantee that by the end of the show you too will be On Your Feet and dancing along with the cast!

Rhythm Is Gonna Get You

Gloria Estefan began her career in the band Miami Sound Machine, who released their debut album Live Again/Renancer in 1977. With their Latin-influenced synth-pop and disco, the group hit the big time in the eighties with tracks including 'Rhythm is Gonna Get You', 'Conga' and 'Dr. Beat'. Estefan later pursued a highly successful music and movie career, earning seven Grammys in the process, and miraculously overcame a potentially paralysing broken back in 1990.

All this time she was supported by her husband Emilio, a massive name in the Latin music industry, who also helped shape the careers of Ricky Martin, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.

Did you know?

Gloria Estefan has earned seven Grammy Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an AMA Lifetime Achievement Award and has sold over 100 million records. All this despite being involved in a major car crash just five years after her first big hit which required a year of intensive rehabilitation.

An Amazing Do Not Miss Event in Chicago!

This was an Early Father's Day gift for my hubby (a musician & fellow fan of the Estefan's). We met up after work at the North & Halsted Red line which we took to Lake St. Only a 20 min ride & we were only 2 blocks from the theater after exiting the train. We walked around, saw the Picasso, walked by a few stores & settled in to wait for the 6:45pm admittance to the theater with a bag of Garrett's popcorn. When we entered the theater we were amazed at its beauty. So far so good. We were awe struck from the very beginning. The cast was phenomenal. The music was, not only live, but seriously on point! The voices - just WOW! The story (what a story it is!) is beautifully written & wonderfully told. The dancing - extraordinary. A very moving tale that one must see to truly appreciate. We laughed, cried, danced & of course sang our hearts out. The standing "O" was much deserved. We also got to meet the amazing couple afterward (& Rita Moreno - AHH) & got autographs! A MUST SEE! ...

Fantastic musucal and such a talented cast.💕

My husband and I loved "On Your Feet". We're long time fans of Gloria and Emilio Estefan musical talent. Seeing this moving musical left us happy and feeling like we just saw Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine in voncert. Talented and beautiful cast, showed they loved sharing their passion of music and dancing. I remembered Senora Gloria Fajardo from Emily's Instagram videos, iImisd her too. You wil appreciate the inspiring journey of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. ... Read more

One of the best EVER!

I laughed. I cried. I danced. Poignant and thoroughly entertaining. The storyline, supplemented by perfectly applied lyrics and song, made this my second favorite show of all time - second only to Jersey Boys. I have been going to Broadway Shows since I was a kid, growing up in New York City, and, at 71 years old, have seen some phenomenal performances. So for me to rank this show as the second best ever - is saying something. This is a show that the entire family will enjoy - albeit on different levels. ... Read more
