How ‘Real Women Have Curves’ Took the Fast Track to Broadway

Joining forces after years apart, Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez achieved a remarkable feat by composing the music for *Real Women Have Curves* in just five years, setting a record in Broadway history. The pandemic-required virtual collaboration allowed them to experiment freely without distractions, leading to a unique creative process that combined their musical talents. Huerta, who had never written for stage before, found the experience deeply fulfilling and has expressed a desire to continue working on Broadway shows, sharing her enthusiasm about collaborating with Velez again.
