Real Women Have Curves on Broadway Background

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.

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.

The show was originally a play in 1987, then it was developed into a 2002 film and now finds it way back to Broadway.

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.
