I saw it early on and posted about it on here, not sure if that post is still available. What I enjoyed: Alma Cuervo, the costumes, the DANCING, and (surprisingly) the libretto. What I didn't enjoy so much: one of the leads either had a bad night or was a poor choice for the role. Also, most of the ballads lacked any sort of dramatic punch necessary to be performed in a musical. It's sort of BEAUTIFUL but for Gloria Estefan. However, far less interesting things were happening culturally in the world during the time period portrayed, eliminating the historical backdrop that I think ultimately makes BEAUTIFUL work and this (perhaps) not. I also wish the show was called GET ON YOUR FEET! which is not only the actual name of that song but seems to sound like a more appealing title, at least to my ear. Maybe they were hoping to trick Rodgers/Hart fans into thinking it was a sequel to ON YOUR TOES. ;)
