Real Women Have Curves opening on Broadway in April 2025!

in

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/
