"Real Women Have Curves" first debuted as a play, by Josefina López, in 1990. Inspired by some of her own experiences, López adapted her own work into a 2002 film, which starred America in her breakout role. In 2025, that story has been reimagined once again as a Broadway musical: "Real Women Have Curves."
Starring Tony Award nominee Justina Machado (TV's "One Day at a Time," "Jane the Virgin" and Broadway's "In the Heights") and newcomer Tatianna Córdoba, "Real Women" is a mother-daughter story, a coming-of-age story, a love story and an immigrant story. Directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, it features a Tony-nominated score by pop star Joy Huerta and musical theater writer Benjamin Velez.
