Tatianna Córdoba will make her debut in Real Women Have Curves: The Musical when it starts performances on April 1 at the James Earl Jones Theatre. She plays Ana García, who dreams of flying away from East Los Angeles and her family’s garment business. Watch her sing “Flying Away” in the video below. Thanks to Theater Mania for the post! Music and Lyrics by me and Joy Huerta.
We’ve released demo tracks from the show with my Co-Composer/Lyricist Joy Huerta (Grammy Award Winning Artist of Jesse & Joy). Enjoy this little taste of what’s to come!
Couldn’t be more thrilled to have these incredible talented women leading our show! Check out the full release on DEADLINE.
I'm gonna be pinching myself all the way till April!!! It’s thrilling beyond belief to have a show coming to Broadway for the first time, and I’m immensely grateful to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way, even when it sometimes felt impossible to keep going after a project you've worked on for years and years disappears or hits a wall. But in the words of Tick Tick Boom: “You start writing the next one. And after you finish that one, you start on the next. And on and on, and that's what it is to be a writer, honey. You just keep throwing them against the wall and hoping against hope that eventually something sticks.”
Here’s hoping this one sticks!! Come see us starting in April! Check out the official announcement coverage by Broadway News, Playbill, and Deadline, and sign up for updates on tickets on our website: https://realwomenhavecurvesbroadway.com/
It was surreal to get to have our title song be performed by Joy and some of our cast as part of the Mexico Independence Day festivities in Times Square! Here’s some footage of them performing, along with Joy talking a little about the show:
"Real Women Have Curves" in Times Square, featuring Joy Huerta, Jennifer Sanchez, Florencia Cuenca, Elisa Galindez, and Aline Mayagoitia, with Nadia DiGillianardo and Rich Mercurio in the band!
