More information about Real Women Have Curves
Real Women Have Curves has had a long journey and is finally making its way to Broadway. Starting off as a play by Josefina López, the work was adapted into a Sundance hit in 2002, winning the Audience Award for best dramatic film and the Special Jury Prize for acting. The play and film were both celebrated for their realistic portrayal of Latino family dynamics and culture.
Ultimately, this new musical is an inspiring one — Real Women Have Curves “makes us feel we can all soar” per WBUR. While the film very much follows a Latino family, its themes of community, duty, and choosing to pursue your own goals despite the one ancestors may have laid for you are highly relatable to many families. A celebration of one woman’s resilience and ambition, this musical is one that tells a distinctly American story. See how 200 dresses transform a family business — and its future.
