On Your Feet! The Story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan played to its final crowd at the London Coliseum last week. Or so we thought…
But whether you missed this new musical when it was in the capital, or loved it so much you want to see it again, you’ve got another opportunity to see it.
On Your Feet! is off on a national and international tour, and it will be temporarily returning to London next summer. Between 24 – 29 February 2020, the show will call New Wimbledon Theatre its home, with more West End dates to be announced.
On Your Feet! is the inspiring true love story of Emilio and Gloria and charts their journey from its origins in Cuba, onto the streets of Miami and finally to international superstardom and features some of the most iconic pops songs of the era, including Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, Conga, Get On Your Feet, Don’t Want To Lose You and 1-2-3.
