ON YOUR FEET! Announces First National Tour Opening in Miami

Producers James L. Nederlander, Estefan Enterprises, Inc and Bernie Yuman have just announced a 31-city First National Tour this fall 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. The tour will celebrate its Grand Opening in the Estefans' home city of Miami, Florida.
