Set to Gloria’s chart-topping, smash hits such as Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, Conga, 1-2-3, Get On Your Feet, Don’t Want To Lose You Now, and Coming Out Of The Dark, in addition to new music penned by the Estefans, the musical will be choreographed by four-time Drama Desk nominee Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, Memphis) with a book by Academy Award® nominee Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman film, The Bodyguard Musical).
“On Your Feet! is a piece that speaks to people of every culture around the world. We’ve seen audiences from South America to Asia, and everywhere in between, be moved by our music and we want each and every one of them to have a chance to be a part of this story and show their talent to the world.”
Two-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Hairspray) is the director and the production is produced by The Nederlander Organization and Estefan Enterprises, Inc. in partnership with Bernie Yuman.
