Gloria Estefan Broadway Show in production

The Nederlander Organization and Estefan Enterprises are joining together to produce a new Broadway show inspired by the music of Gloria Estefan and her musician/producer husband Emilio Estefan.

The show will follow the journey of the couple from Cuba to international superstardom.

Gloria and Emilio issued a statement saying "We are very excited to partner with the Nederlander Organization and Bernie Yuman to, after almost a decade of planning and developing, bring our music and life story to Broadway. We are very excited to share this story, which is based on hope, determination and the belief that with hard work and passion, our dreams can become our reality.

"Our music has been a true reflection of who we are, where we came from and the journey that has brought us to where we are today. Our cultural roots, our life-defining challenges and the rewards that come with believing in yourself and striving for that which you believe in wholeheartedly, will be the foundation for this theatrical production. Sharing our life story through music will give us a new opportunity to honor our roots and, hopefully, to be able to inspire generations to come."

Gloria Estefan is the biggest crossover performer in the history of Latin music with ten top 10 singles (solo and with the Miami Sound Machine) and 20 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
