'Real Women Have Curves' Review: A Musical of a Girl's Ambition.

"Real Women Have Curves" is a musical adaptation of the 2002 movie that follows the story of Ana, a young woman struggling to balance her dreams with her immigrant family's expectations. The musical features a mostly female cast and explores themes of girl power and the challenges faced by immigrant women. While the show has moments of pleasure, it is criticized for being overstuffed with plot and having too many songs about the characters' hardships. The musical also softens the character of Carmen, Ana's mother, which changes the dynamic from the original movie. Overall, "Real Women Have Curves" is an enjoyable but flawed production.
