Julio Reyes Copello – the 15-time Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winning music producer, composer and pianist – will produce Real Women Have Curves: The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording), due in June.

Mexican pop star Joy Huerta is learning how to "make it work" as a theatrical writer, to borrow the title of a song from her Broadway-debut show. Luckily, Real Women Have Curves, adapted from the same-named Josefina López play and HBO film, lets her use music to celebrate the experiences and communities she already knows best.

Sandra Valls studied musical theater with the hopes of performing on Broadway. Her debut in Real Women Have Curves brings that dream to life.

Broadway newcomer Tatianna Córdoba stars as Ana, a self-possessed high school senior who longs to attend college in New York City. Film and TV favorite Justina Machado plays Carmen, the matriarch who sees no reason for her youngest child to leave home. Together, this vivacious pair leads a mostly female company in celebrating the power of working women.

“We are here. We are the largest consumer demographic in North America,” said director and choreographer Sergio Trujillo, a Tony- and Olivier Award-winner.

Meet Ana Garcia — on Broadway. This feisty, ambitious 18-year-old character first took the stage in 1990, when Josefina López's play Real Women Have Curves premiered in San Francisco. Many more people got to know Ana with the release of the 2002 HBO film adaptation starring America Ferrera in the role.
