Summer 1987, Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. After eighteen years under the roof of her immigrant parents, Ana is ready to spread her wings. Her dreams of college and a career in New York City are bursting at the seams, but her family’s expectations would keep her home, working at their garment factory (and being driven crazy by her mother). Is it worth sacrificing the dreams of her family? Or is Ana living her dream a fulfillment of theirs? Based on the play by Josefina López that inspired the iconic hit film, Real Women Have Curves: The Musical is an uplifting and empowering new show that explores life’s unexpected curves.
