In honor of Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month, we are going to be discussing how Buena Vista Social Club, the jukebox musical based on the 1997 hit album, and Real Women Have Curves, a musical adaptation of Josefina López's play, became the first musicals centered on Latine stories to run on Broadway at the same time.

This episode will dive into subjects such as the history of Latine representation in musical theatre, how these shows made it all the way to Broadway, their similarities and differences, and the value of prioritizing representation!
