The story could belong to thousands of families who left Cuba for Miami. Or\u00a0anywhere for anywhere, hoping for a life of freedom and opportunity.<\/p>\n

Striving and struggle, painful separations from family and homeland, the roller coaster of love and loss \u2014 those are the plot points in a simple, familiar story. Except this story happens to belong to Gloria and Emilio Estefan, and it\u2019s being played out at Broadway\u2019s Marquis Theatre eight times a week in the new musical On Your Feet!.<\/p>\n

The newest creative venture in the Miami superstar couple\u2019s multifaceted body of work will get a thumbs up or down (or sideways) from the New York critics after its official opening night on Thursday. But as far as preview audiences are concerned, the biographical jukebox musical \u2014 part Broadway, part sizzling concert \u2014 is already a hit.<\/p>\n

\"SHOW-Ana<\/a><\/p>\n

For the week ending Oct. 25, On Your Feet! sold 11,825 tickets, breaking the $1 million mark at $1,096,202. It\u2019s the first big musical since the red-hot Hamilton to show that level of box-office muscle. These days, thanks to a show that has stylistic roots in both Fiddler on the Roof and Jersey Boys, Times Square at 46th Street is looking and sounding a lot like the 305.<\/p>\n
