Get ready for a lively ode to strength, self-love, and culture encased in seductive Latin rhythms and heartfelt melodies. For those who like moving stories with catchy music, this musical is a must-see. Tony and Olivier award-winner Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, On Your Feet!) is the creative force behind this energetic production, filled with brilliant choreography, vivid staging, and boundless energy.

Ana's sister Estela and her feisty mother Carmen are just two examples of dynamic characters who captivate the audience with their authenticity, passion, and humor. Composers Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez expertly convey the story's comedy and passion with their combination of Latin rhythms and heartfelt ballads about everything from menopause and cafecitos to the immigrant dream in the show's music.

Real Women Have Curves is, at its heart, a narrative for all those who have ever felt unworthy or had trouble finding their voice. The physical and intangible curves that shape our identities are celebrated here. This show is about so much more than just music—it's a jubilation of self-love, acceptance of one's physical appearance, and the strength of familial relationships.

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
