"Finding the right performers to tell our story on the Broadway stage is the most important step in this project," Miami's Cubanita favorita said in a statement.
"Our own journey together started in Miami, a city that has been such an inspiration to us both. It only felt right that the city be a cornerstone of our search for the next generation of bright talent."
Directed by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell and written by two-time Drama Desk nominee Alexander Dinelaris, the bilingual production will tell the tale of the Estefans' journey to the United States, how they became international Latin music sensations, and their influential role in the biz.
It will also touch on dark times and personal tragedies, including Gloria's spinal cord injury in 1990, which almost left her paralyzed.
Open casting calls may be an entire month away with a first round of live auditions taking place in New York on September 9, but you don't have to wait till then to prove that you can bailar y cantar like the Latin Songwriter Hall of Famer.
