The Hollywood Pantages Theatre and The Nederlander Organization present the Los Angeles premiere of “On Your Feet!” running from Friday, July 6, through Sunday, July 29.
The production is based on the life story of seven-time Grammy-winning superstar Gloria Estefan and her husband, 19-time Grammy-winning producer-musician-entrepreneur Emilio Estefan. It stars Christie Prades as Gloria and Mauricio Martínez as Emilio. The cast also includes Nancy Ticotin as Gloria’s mother, Gloria Fajardo; Debra Cardona as Gloria’s grandmother, Consuelo; Jason Martinez as Gloria’s father, José Fajardo; Ana-Sofia Rodriguez and Carmen Sanchez as young Gloria; and Carlos Carreras and Jordan Vergara as Nayib/young Emilio.
Multiple musicians from the Miami Sound Machine are also featured, including Clay Ostwald (keyboards), Teddy Mulet (trombone), Mike Scaglione (reeds), Jorge Casas (bass) and Edwin Bonilla (percussion). Additional members of the orchestra include Emmanuel Schvartzman (associate music director/keyboards), Jose Ruiz (trumpet), Stephen Flakus (guitar), Jean-Christophe Leroy (percussion) and Colin Taylor (drums).
Gloria Estefan has sold over 100 million records. With her husband Emilio, the couple has won 26 Grammy Awards, but their music is only half the story. “On Your Feet!” follows the Estefans’ journey to superstardom and is set to their chart-topping hits including “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You,” “Conga,” “1-2-3,” “Get On Your Feet,” “Mi Tierra,” “Don’t Want To Lose You Now” and “Reach,” in addition to an original song written by Gloria and her daughter, Emily Estefan.
Showtimes are 8 p.m., Tuesday through Friday; 2 and 8 p.m., Saturday; and 1 and 6:30 p.m., Sunday. “On Your Feet!” is recommended for ages 8 and older; children under 5 will not be admitted.
