Top Broadway Producers Back The Show
Barry and Fran Weissler, the well known producers of Chicago and Waitress, have developed a musical adaptation of the acclaimed and award-winning film Real Women Have Curves, that actually started out as a play, but just not on Broadway.
Sergio Trujillo
The show is directed by Sergio Trujillo who is best known for his work on Broadway's Ain't Too Proud. The Grammy Award-winning Mexican pop group Jesse & Joy developed the music and lyrics. Lisa Loomer wrote the script for the show.
Original Play and Then Movie
The play was first produced in 1990 by the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in San Francisco. It was an early work of Josefina López, who wrote it when she was only 21 years old. The play draws on López's personal experiences growing up in a Mexican-American family in Los Angeles and working in her sister’s sewing factory.
This show is ground breaking as it will be the first Broadway musical with a Latino director, bookwriter, lyricist, and composer, making this an all-Latin affair.
