The Amstetten musical summer returns in July 2021 with a national and international exclamation point. Prevented by this year’s pandemic, the musical “On your Feet” with fiery Latin American rhythms is supposed to be a highlight in the Lower Austrian theater next summer, but also in the return of cultural events in Amstetten Johann-Pölz -Halle.
The story of salsa icon Gloria Estefan will be told as a German premiere. Unmistakable hits like “Conga” or “The rhythm will catch you” with dizzying salsa choreographies promised by artistic director and director Alex Balga. He was able to maintain the commitment of the team for 2020. “Standing, for us, after the emotional shock, symbolizes the resurgence of culture,” he explains.
International cast
14 international music professionals out of 500 applicants were expelled. They come from Cuba, the United States and, like the charismatic lead actress Myrhtes Monteiro, from Brazil. The proven musical director, Christian Frank, controls the stage fireworks.
In terms of content, the piece will also send current messages, says Balga. The fight between Gloria Estefan, seriously injured in a bus accident, back on stage and within the Latin show business, is also a symbol of the present time.
