Real Women Have Curves

Summer 1987, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. After eighteen years under her
parents’ roof, Ana is ready to spread her wings. Her dreams of college and a career in New York City are bursting at the seams, but her mother’s
expectations would keep her home, working at their garment factory. Should Ana pursue her own dreams at the expense of her family’s? Based on the play by Josefina López that inspired the iconic hit film, Real Women Have Curves: The Musical is an empowering new show that explores life’s unexpected curves.

Real Women Have Curves: The Musical features songs by Grammy Award®–winning songwriter Joy Huerta (Jesse & Joy) and Benjamin Velez (Kiss My Aztec), a book by Lisa Loomer (Girl, Interrupted) with Nell Benjamin (Mean Girls), and choreography and direction by Tony® winner Sergio Trujillo (Ain’t Too Proud).
