On Your Feet!

Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine went through the charts like a bolt of lighting in the early '80s, but the Cuban-American band had a long road of weddings and bar mitzvahs before they could get a record deal. On Your Feet!, the musical based on Emilio and Gloria Estefan's life and music, tells the story from the beginning. It's a story of love, parental disapproval, the American music industry's prejudice against Spanish-language songs and the Estefans' belief in each other, backed by the propulsive sounds of Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. On Your Feet! lights up the Fox Theatre (527 North Grand Boulevard; www.fabulousfox.com) Tuesday through Sunday (November 7 to 19). Tickets are $35 to $115.
