I was crying before intermission!
"I could not have asked for a better way to kick off my first ever broadway show!!! This show has heart, soul, and showcases the painful story of what it means to be an immigrant. But I laughed and laughed with each punchline. YOU NEED TO SEE IT. "

This Show Hit Home On So Many Levels !
"This show is one of the best musicals I've seen in a while ! It's funny, it's sad, it's sassy and fun ! It hit home on so many levels...mom the seamstress wanting to protect their children even from themselves. The struggles of every day life in America. These ladies touched on all and did so beautifully !! "

Uplifting!
"This was my last of 4 shows I saw on this trip and I was completely surprised at how wonderful it was. Don't know what I was expecting, but it far exceeded my expectations. The cast was delightful. The plot was so good and the scene where the girls show their cubes had everyone on their feet. Ana was Lovely!"

Sad, sweet, sassy and satisfying!
"The show has found itself hyper-relevant in 2025! Songs, scores and band were perfect. Performers were excellent, well choreographed and joyful. The basic story is clearly a big reflection of nearly 3 centuries of America’s deep experience of creating a melting pot from across the world. Filled with joy, hardship and tragedy. I loved it!"

Latinas Rule!
"Loved the music, dance and storyline. It represents some of the old ways of our culture. Comedy and drama well balanced. Never a dull moment. Young teens could see this with family but not young children. Theater was so cozy. Great venue and actors all did a great job❤️"

Such a fun
"I didn’t know what to expect. I went to see Justina Machado but i was surprised from the first minute. Excellent acting! Great voices! The whole cast was super brilliant! Such a joy to watch Tatianna Córdoba in her element. So much fun and laugh. I’ve never heard a song about menopause however they even made it fun but not too funny. I was captivated from the beginning till the end. Such a joy to watch even though it was about a really hard topic of immigration… It was a good night! "

Funny, Heartwarming and Relatable
"It was a great and inspiring story that resonates even more in these current, turbulent times. The cast was great, it was well written/directed and had wonderful performances. Although it was about a specific group of people, the family dynamics can be found in so many homes worldwide. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend the upbeat, fun, moving evening of Broadway. The only reason I did not check that it would be appropriate for children was because there were some 'adult' themes that might make some uncomfortable - depends on your mentality and the age of the children.

Ana García dreams of flying away. But when her family’s East Los Angeles garment business receives a make-or-break order for 200 dresses, Ana finds herself juggling her own ambitions, her mother Carmen’s expectations, and a community of women all trying to make it work against the odds. Based on the play by Josefina López that inspired the iconic hit HBO film, with music by Grammy® Award-winning composer Joy Huerta and directed by Tony Award® winner Sergio Trujillo, Real Women Have Curves: The Musical “makes us feel we can all soar!” (WBUR).
