Episode 091 - On Your Feet
Above The Basement - Boston Music and Conversation - Un podcast de Chuck Clough and Ronnie Hirschberg
ON YOUR FEET! The musical is a story of rhythm and resilience. It covers the lives of Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio Estefan to and through success, and tells a story of setbacks and love. The foundation is built upon music and at its core is the legendary Miami Sound Machine. We sat down with Jorge Casas and Clay Ostwald of the original members of the Miami Sound Machine, who help bring all these iconic songs to the Broadway stage. We talk about the tour and the transition of pop-Latin-jazz to theater, the accident that changed everything, and the recovery and success of “cross over” Cuban American Music that Gloria, Emilio and the Miami Sound Machine brought to the world. The show is currently playing at the Boston Opera House through April 29th, 2018. Go to www.boston.broadway.com for more information.
