London Theatre Review: On Your Feet, the story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan
Posted on
**Gloria Estefan**. An instantly recognisable name, synonymous with a good time. Telling the story of how Gloria and her husband, Emilio became stars of the Latin vocal and dance culture, and their fight to achieve a crossover into the English market is [***The Story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan: On Your Feet!***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/3183/on-your-feet-the-story-of-emilio-and-gloria-estefan-tickets.aspx) I went along to [**the London Coliseum**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/3183/on-your-feet-the-story-of-emilio-and-gloria-estefan-tickets.aspx) to see if this show would indeed get me **On My Feet! **
The storyline for *On Your Feet* isn't unusual - boy meets girl, girl wows boy with their combined musical talent and they reach world success with their style and ethos. It is a jukebox musical but the secret to this show's success is the choreography. It is phenomenal and I say that without irony or agenda. The swiftness and ease which the tempo changes are dealt with and in such a fluid pace really highlights the tension of the story. There is a particular scene where the cast are tapping their way through a song, the precision and staccato beat timing is undeniable and due applause should be given to the cast and choreographer.
The cast is tightly knit and very cohesive, working together seamlessly. **George Ioannides** and **Philippa Stefani** in the titular roles played to each other perfectly, complimenting their rhythmic and vocal styles with ease and panache.
*On Your Feet!* is one to watch, you will definitely be tapping your toes throughout!
