Looking for something to do this weekend? Now playing at the Majestic Theatre is the national tour of the hit musical ‘On Your Feet’ and there are still four chances to catch this show stopping production. Upcoming show times are 2p.m. and 8p.m. on Saturday and 2p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are available at the box office and through Ticketmaster and prices start at $35. ‘On Your Feet’ is based on the life story of seven-time Grammy winning international superstar Gloria Estefan and her husband, 19 Grammy winning producer-musician-entrepreneur Emilio Estefan. It stars Christie Prades as Gloria and Mauricio Martínez as Emilio.

Like all good rags-to-riches stories, ‘On Your Feet’ begins with a young Gloria and her family in Miami where they moved from Cuba after the revolution. Her family, especially her father, try to nurture and encourage her talent until eventually she meets a young Emilio who encourages her to audition for his band, the Miami Latin Boys. Despite achieving stardom in the Latin market, the band struggles to expand their audience and must rely on word of mouth to get their music the exposure needed for a successful crossover. The first act ends with “Conga,” their breakthrough song, as the cast leads a conga line through the audience. The second act gets serious as it chronicles the struggles that Gloria had to overcome after the near-fatal tour bus accident that nearly derailed her musical career. In the end, she manages to get back on the spotlight where she always belonged. It is all wrapped up with a party-like atmosphere filled with music, dancing and confetti.

Fans of Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine will enjoy the production since it is filled with hits including “1-2-3,” “Anything for You,” “Conga” and “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You.” Aside from that, it is a reminder of the American dream and that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. It is refreshing to see a mostly Hispanic cast depict the immigrant struggle onstage and the live orchestra brings the Cuban-inspired music to a broader audience. Show highlights include when the band must perform everything from bar mitzvahs to clubs to get their music heard and when Emilio stands up to his record producer when he tries to dissuade them from recording in English and tells him “this is what an American looks like.” It slows down towards the end, but overall, the lead actors have onstage chemistry and the cast works well together. It is a must-see show that appeals to audiences of all ages.
