It's time! The original Broadway cast recording for Real Women Have Curves was released to all streaming platforms June 6. A CD edition of the album is scheduled for release July 25.
Released by Ghostlight Records, the album is produced by 15-time Grammy winner Julio Reyes Copello. In celebration of the release, the Broadway musical has released a new in-studio music video featuring Florencia Cuenca performing "Daydream," an ode to the pressures placed upon eldest daughters in immigrant families, and the dreams that sustain her through the day. See the video below.
Real Women Have Curves officially opened on Broadway April 27 at the James Earl Jones Theatre. Read the reviews here. The project is helmed by Sergio Trujillo, who's directing and choreographing. With a score by Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez and a book by Lisa Loomer with Nell Benjamin, the work follows a first-generation child of Mexican immigrants, Ana (Tatianna C贸rdoba), who is torn between joining the family garment business or embarking on her own dream.
