On Your Feet!

What is On Your Feet! about?

On Your Feet! is the biographical musical telling the true story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan, from their beginnings in Cuba to their rise as one of the most successful musical partnerships in history. The show charts their journey through the Miami Sound Machine era, Gloria's devastating tour bus accident, and her triumphant comeback, featuring the hits that defined a generation: Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, Conga, Get On Your Feet, and 1-2-3.

Why see On Your Feet!?

The music is irresistible. Gloria Estefan's catalogue is pure joy, and hearing these songs performed live with a full band and energetic choreography turns the theatre into a dance floor. But the show is more than a jukebox musical: the Estefans' story of immigration, cultural identity, love, and resilience gives the music emotional depth. The accident and recovery sequence is genuinely powerful, and by the time Get On Your Feet arrives at the finale, the audience is invariably standing.
