GET ON YOUR FEET!

Hello everyone! It’s Evan, and I’ve returned with another blog post for you all, this one being a review of On Your Feet!

On March 9, 2018, I saw On Your Feet and I absolutely loved it! The official synopsis is, "From their humble beginnings in Cuba, Emilio and Gloria Estefan came to Miami and broke through all barriers to become a crossover sensation at the very top of the pop music world. But just when they thought they had it all, they almost lost everything. ON YOUR FEET! takes you behind the music and inside the real story of this record-making and groundbreaking couple who, in the face of adversity, found a way to end up on their feet."
I thought this show was brilliant. I didn't know much about it and I wasn't too familiar with the music. I saw Claudia Yunez as Gloria and wow, she is understudy power at it's best! Mauricio Martinez is a STAR! He OWNED the stage in every scene he was in and I really wish I could've said more to him at the stage door. I feel as if I don't have much to compliment about the show because it was very.. ordinary (the GOOD ordinary) but there was one thing that kind of threw me off— the ending. I felt as if it was too abrupt and that it was like, “Gloria got better and she’s a star. Show’s over.” I think that if there was a wrap up, it would’ve been much better but just... the ending was just too abrupt.

Overall, I really enjoyed the show. I’d give it 3 stars out of 5. Thank you so much for reading, keep conquering the stage!
