Things are about to get a little crazy for Ana Villafañe after the Cuban-American singer, dancer and actress was picked to star as Gloria Estefan in the forthcoming Broadway production On Your Feet!.

With a few film and television credits behind her (Magic City Memoirs, Los Americans and South Beach), the dark-haired beauty is a life-long fan of the Miami Sound Machine star she's about to portray on stage in her Broadway debut, and even attended the same Miami high school as Estefan. She's also set to feature in the film Max Steel alongside Andy Garcia and Maria Bello (release date tbc). Described as 'captivating' by On Your Feet! director Jerry Mitchell, let’s hope the critics agree when the show opens in November.
