On July 22nd Forbes put out a title that reads: Gloria And Emilio Estefan’s Broadway Musical ‘On Your Feet!’ Brings A New Level Of Diversity To The Road
"After a nationwide tour of more than 70 cities, On Your Feet! The Story of Emilio & Gloria Estefan will relaunch this fall with stops in new cities across the United States after two sit-down engagements. Directed and choreographed by Broadway veteran, Luis Salgado, On Your Feet! will play at Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine from July 20 to August 19, 2023 and at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts in La Mirada, California, from October 6 to 29, 2023. Salgado also starred in On Your Feet! during its Broadway run."
"This version of On Your Feet! offers a fresh, new take with even more Latin flair. The exceptionally diverse cast and creative team hails from more than ten countries. Gaby Albo, who plays Gloria, is Mexican. Samuel Garnica (Emilio) is Venezuelan. Music director Daniel Gutierrez is from Colombia, and Luis Salgado, the director/choreographer, is native of Puerto Rico."
"Gloria and Emilio Estefan sat in the audience and congratulated the cast, crew and band after. “This amazing group of people are taking [the show] to places that I never imaged would see the show,” Gloria Estefan told the cast. “Every night you give it your all.” She also gave the audience a big shout out. “I really have no words of appreciation for all you,” she told the cheering the crowd. “It’s just never enough.”
