'Real Women Have Curves' is a vibrant musical that tells the story of Ana, an 18-year-old U.S. citizen with immigrant roots. She faces a moral and emotional crisis as she tries to help her friend Itzel, who is detained by ICE. The juxtaposition of the musical's vibrant setting and its dark themes highlights the harsh realities of immigration and the pressure on those caught in the system. Despite the passage of years since its original performances, the issues presented remain painfully relevant, making Ana's story resonate today.
"How could I give them our address?" she sings, struck by panic and guilt, suddenly ashamed of her own naiveté in the face of a system long honed for maximum heartlessness.
Ana's poignant dilemmas and aspirations showcase the harsh realities faced by undocumented immigrants and the intricacies of love, loyalty, and responsibility in a fractured system.
