‘Real Women Have Curves’ Review: Broadway Musical Celebrates a Vibrant Community of Women With Joy and Heart

"Real Women Have Curves" tells the story of Ana, an 18-year-old Mexican-American striving for a career in journalism but hampered by her mother's plans. Set in a small dressmaking shop run by her sister Estela, who employs undocumented women, the musical explores themes of family, immigration, and personal struggles. With its Latin rhythms and rich performances, particularly highlighting Carmen's evolution, the show offers both uplifting moments and poignant reflections on life's challenges. However, its ending is noted for feeling underwritten, raising questions about its impact.
