From their humble beginnings in Cuba, Emilio and Gloria Estefan came to America 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. Get ready to get on your feet, and dance to the smash hits “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You,” “1-2-3,” “Live For Loving You,” “Conga,” and many more.

Every spring, it feels like half the neighborhood decides to build a deck and the other half regrets how theirs turned out last year. Most people underestimate how much planning goes into doing it right—grading, drainage, permits, even how the sun hits your backyard in July. After a couple of bad estimates and one ghosted contractor, I finally went with a company that specialized in custom deck services, and it was a completely different experience. They actually listened, drew up plans that matched the house style, and explained why certain materials would hold up better over time. The result doesn’t just look good, it feels solid. No creaks, no warping, no half-baked shortcuts. It’s one of those rare home projects…
Tickets may be purchased only by calling or emailing. Please don't take this personally, but I think many people will not do it. The pandemic changed many things, including tickets. Now they are bought online, so I'd recommend you to use this service to accept payments right on the website. You will just need to implement a ticket control system when visitors come to the theater, but I am sure you will manage it too.
