| ON YOUR FEET! Last Night | |
| Posted by: | mamaleh 11:21 am EST 12/24/15 |
| I won a $40 lottery seat to ON YOUR FEET! last night. I found the show only OK-ish; I just can't jump on the fervent fan bandwagon. I realize no one's life is all exuberance and good times -- especially when one is recovering from a terrible accident -- but the succession of slow and laborious numbers and scenes dragged down my enjoyment. The dancing and singing in the energetic, upbeat numbers are top notch, as was the acting by the three leads (yes, I 'm including the always delightful Andrea Burns as Gloria Estefan's mom) -- with a partial exception. Josh Segarra was earnest but seems to have been directed to speak so softly and with such a thick Cuban accent that at times he is indecipherable. (Does Emilio Estefan speak like that?). Even if he does, audibility must be considered. For those interested, my lottery seat was Row G in the mezz, three seats from a side aisle. Because my knee had chosen a very inopportune time to swell up, I changed seats to a center right aisle, a few rows down, at intermission. There were a good number of available seats in the mezz, probably because of people busy with holiday prep and plans. | |
