“In the performance under review, the first after opening night, the central role of Gloria Estefan was handled by an understudy. Kristen Tarragó met the challenge, singing and dancing in an impressive performance that brought the character to life.”
Miami native Kristen Tarrago plays Gloria’s mother, and she turns in a wonderfully realized performance carrying some of the best songs in the show. Tarrago and Garnica duet in the only original song for the musical “If I Never Got to Tell You,” and it becomes one of the spiritual climaxes of the night.

“Kristen Tarragó…
Has an impressive amount of range. Showing musical prowess, excellent comedic timing and sass, and a conflicted and layered character through the scenes she appears in. While “On Your Feet!” is mostly style over substance, Tarragó carries a lot of the emotional beats as if they are nothing.”
