FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

First national tour of On Your Feet! congas its way to Worcester

WORCESTER, Mass. (October 10, 2018) The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts is pleased to announce that tickets are on sale now for the Worcester engagement of the hit Broadway musical On Your Feet!, based on the life story of seven-time Grammy®-winning international superstar Gloria Estefan and her husband, 19-time Grammy®-winning producer-musician-entrepreneur Emilio Estefan. Generously sponsored by Bay State Savings Bank, On Your Feet! runs Wednesday, March 27 - Sunday, March 31.

Gloria Estefan has sold over 100 million records and sold out stadiums around the world, and, together, Gloria and Emilio have won 26 Grammy® Awards. But their music is only half the story. From the heart of Havana to the streets of Miami came a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the music industry had ever seen. On Your Feet! is the new Broadway musical that follows the Estefans' journey to superstardom, set to their chart-topping, smash 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. Don’t miss the show that Entertainment Weekly called a “ferociously fun, feel-good musical!”

On Your Feet! is produced by James L. Nederlander and Estefan Enterprises, Inc. in partnership with Bernie Yuman. The musical is directed by two-time Tony® Award winner Jerry Mitchell (“Kinky Boots,” “Hairspray”) and is choreographed by Tony® Award nominee and Olivier Award winner Sergio Trujillo (“Jersey Boys,” “Memphis”), with an original book by Academy Award winner Alexander Dinelaris (“Birdman,” “The Bodyguard Musical”).

Completing the creative team are four-time Tony®-nominated scenic designer David Rockwell (“Kinky Boots,” “Legally Blonde”), Tony®-nominated costume designer Emilio Sosa (“Porgy &

Bess”), Tony® Award-winning lighting designer Kenneth Posner (“Wicked,” “Hairspray”) and Tony® Award-winning sound designer Steve Kennedy of SCK Sound Design (“Lady Day,” “Guys and Dolls”), with projections by Darrel Maloney, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe (“Beautiful”, “Newsies”). With music direction by Clay Ostwald (Miami Sound Machine), On Your Feet! features orchestrations by Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan, music arrangements by Lon Hoyt (“Hairspray”) and dance arrangements and orchestrations by Oscar Hernandez (“The Capeman”).

On Your Feet! began performances on Broadway on Monday, October 5, 2015, with an opening night of Thursday, November 5, 2015, at the Marquis Theatre in New York City. The musical played its final performance on Sunday, August 20, 2017, having played 780 performances. Tickets to On Your Feet! at The Hanover Theatre start at $45.
