Real Women Have Curves Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More

It's already a beloved play and a hit film. Now Real Women Have Curve is a Broadway musical. Based on the play by Josefina López, this funny, joyous, and empowering new show features music and lyrics by Grammy winner Joy Huerta of the Mexican pop duo Jesse & Joy and composer/lyricist Benjamin Velez, with a book by Lisa Loomer with Nell Benjamin.

The musical features direction & choreography by Tony and Olivier Award winner Sergio Trujillo. With Real Women Have Curves, Joy Huerta will become only the second female composer of Mexican descent to have a show on Broadway.

Summer 1987, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. After eighteen years under the roof of her immigrant parents, 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 family’s expectations would keep her home, working at their garment factory (and being driven crazy by her mother). Is it worth sacrificing the dreams of her family by Ana fulfilling her own? 

Before broadway, Real Women Have Curves had its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T) at Harvard University in 2023. The play premiered at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in San Francisco in 1990. It was adapted into a film in 2002, starring America Ferrera (in her feature film debut) as protagonist Ana García.
