What did our critic think of ON YOUR FEET at Ordway Center For The Performing Arts?

Imagine waiting to see a living legend in concert. Anticipation builds, the lights dim, and then you hear the familiar and timeless beginnings of “The Rhythm is Going to Get You,” and you absolutely want to get up and dance!  Starting strong, On Your Feet! The Story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan, gives a story of love, family bonds, iconic pop hits, classic love songs and beloved latin beats! With book by Alexander Dinelaris, and music by Gloria and Emilio Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine, it’s a dance party with a backstory!

This is a beautifully cast show full of authentic Latin performers. They have all had input into the choreography for this production, which Luis Salgado headed up. The director has amped up the dancing from the original Broadway version and made the final journey after Gloria’s accident far more spiritual and compelling.

Luis Salgado is a choreographer and director of the show, and he was part of the original Broadway production, actually. But I think what I like about this version is if you've seen it, you definitely have to come and see it again cause it's a very different take on the show. It's very spiritual.

The Grand will present a brand new production of the smash-hit musical ON YOUR FEET! THE STORY OF EMILIO & GLORIA ESTEFAN.
