"On Your Feet! is a production with a contagious thrill - you just can't help but tap your feet and sing along with the popular music," said Mark Blakeman, The McKnight Center's Marilynn and Carl Thoma Executive Director. "It's a feel-good story and we know audiences will leave the center feeling inspired by its celebratory message."
