ON YOUR FEET! IS BACK ON THE 2ND NATIONAL TOUR IN THE U.S. WITH A FULL CAST AND LEADING THE COMPANY IS GABY ALBO AS "GLORIA ESTEFAN" AND SAMUEL GARNICA AS "EMILIO ESTEFAN".
THIS PRODUCTION IS WONDERFULLY PUT TOGETHER FROM THE MUSIC, CHOREOGRAPHY, COSTUMES AND ENERGY EVERY SINGLE CAST MEMBER GIVES THROUGHOUT THE SHOW. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING; YOU GET PULLED INTO GLORIA'S FAMILY, HERITAGE AND HER PASSION FOR MUSIC. AS SOON AS "EMILIO" IS INTRODUCED YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH HE BELIEVES IN "GLORIA" AND SAMUEL DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB IN BRINGING THIS MOMENT OUT ON THE STAGE. THERE WERE MANY SONGS THAT STOOD OUT FOR ME PERSONALLY "GET ON YOUR FEET". THE MESSAGE BEHIND THE SONG TO ME THAT NO MATTER YOUR SITUATION IF YOU TAKE ACTION AND CREATE THE STORY YOUR WANT; YOU WILL AND CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING. I DEFINITELY FELT LIKE GETTING UP AND DANCING THROUGHOUT MANY OF THE SONGS DURING THE SHOW. SHOUTOUT TO THE MUSICIANS WHO WERE UP ON STAGE THROUGHOUT SHOW HELPING TELL THE STORY. THE CAST DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB IN KEEPING THE AUDIENCE ENGAGED FROM STORY TELLING, COMEDY AND AT THE SAME TIME SHARING LIFE LESSONS AND OBSTACLES WE CAN ALL RELATE TO.
THE VOCALS, ACTING, AND DANCING BY GABY AND SAMUEL BRING THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCTION HAD ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT (GOING THROUGH EACH AND EVERY MOMENT WITH THEM) ESPECIALLY DURING HEARTFELT MMOMENTS INCLUDING WHEN THEY SHOWCASED LETTERS RECEIVED BY FANS OF GLORIA AFTER HER ACCIDENT WHICH HELPED MOTIVATE HER TO HEAL AND RECOVER PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM AGAIN.
THIS PRODUCTION IS NOT ONE TO MISS! VISIT THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE TO SEE UPCOMING TOUR DATES!
