Her voice. His vision. Their story. On Your Feet The Musical in Broadway features a love story that produced several hits and a legacy in Latin pop music. Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio Estefan have decided to share their story in a musical that featured their life story. Who would have thought that their union would be a marriage between their professional and personal lives too?
Featuring hits like “Rhythm is Gonna Get You”, “Get On Your Feet” and “Conga”. On Your Feet The Musical in Broadway relives the earliest days of Gloria Estefan. From her days as one of the youngest immigrants to Miami to meeting Emilio Estefan. It was the classic singer-songwriter story except that it happened for real. The union was forged in the pop group Miami Sound Machine where Gloria was the lead vocalist. Soon she crossed over to mainstream pop music. Of course, most of her hits still featured the songwriting talent that Emilio possessed.
While Gloria and Emilio’s roots are more Latin-based, their music managed to cross boundaries. It was the 80’s. The time when upbeat tunes don’t always get classified based on sound and tempo. But they are hits just the same. “Conga” is Latin pop with English lyrics. “1-2-3” is classic 80’s upbeat pop fare. Of course, their tandem produced heart-warming ballads too. “Anything for You” and “Don’t Want to Lose You” proved that Gloria and Emilio can soften up too. The dance floor would need some mellow tunes for the couples anyway. The love between this Latin pop couple transcended their careers and seeped right into the songs they collaborated together. No wonder the anticipation for On Your Feet The Musical in Broadway is at fever pitch.
Expectations in the upcoming On Your Feet The Musical in Broadway included the horrible accident in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The bus that the couple and their entourage rode was reported as smashed. Most fans still remember Emilio handling the press conference intended to clarify Gloria’s condition after the accident. Certain medical professionals were blunt in telling Gloria that she may never walk again. A possibility that Gloria refused to entertain. Her road to recovery would be tackled at On Your Feet The Musical in Broadway. It was best summed up in her inspirational song “Coming Out of the Dark”.
