Broadway is ready to receive "On Your Feet!," a musical based on the successful careers and love story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Though they are very thrilled with this production and new venture, neither Gloria, a seven-time Grammy winner nor Emilio, her record producer and entrepreneur husband, will form part of the cast.
In fact, Gloria has her own reason. "I'm too old to interpret myself," she said, according to KPMR News. "I can possibly get on stage during the show and do the role of my mother," she joked. We assume Mr. Estefan must have the same reason, though they both look fantastic as always!
However, there's no denying that actors Ana Villafañe and Josh Segarra, chosen as the lead roles of the musical, will do a great job as the Latino powercouple whose been together for nearly four decades. “On Your Feet!” will begin previews on Broadway on October 5, 2015, at the Marquis Theatre and the production will officially open on November 5, following a world-premiere engagement at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago, from June 2 to July 5.
In addition to their Broadway musical, the Cuban couple will receive a special award for their exceptional contributions to Hispanic Heritage in the United States on June 24th. Theres no denying that 2015 is one heck of a year for Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
