Following a sold-out, extended run at The Public Theater, Suffs arrives on Broadway — and not a moment too soon. From the singular mind of Shaina Taub, this “remarkable, epic new musical” (Variety), boldly explores the victories and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over.
It’s 1913 and the women’s movement is heating up in America, anchored by the suffragists — “Suffs,” as they call themselves — and their relentless pursuit of the right to vote. Reaching across and against generational, racial, and class divides, these brilliant, flawed women entertain and inspire us with the story of their hard-won victory in an ongoing fight. So much has changed since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment over a century ago, and yet we’re reminded sometimes we need to look back, in order to march fearlessly into the future.

"Loved the music and the acting. Even though I knew the history, this made it come alive. The take-away messages: all women MUST vote…in honor and memory of those who fought for our rights. And the fight for women’s rights is not over. So much more to be done. I cried and laughed throughout this musical. I could not recommend a show more highly than this one!"

"I really knew nothing about the suffragette movement, and now I do! I had not read anything about this show in advance, but after seeing the performance on the Tony awards, my curiosity was piqued. I didn’t know what to expect, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The ending brought me to tears. A stellar cast!

"SUFFS should be a required Broadway Play, all teenagers should experience.
What an accomplishment it would be if SUFFS could team up with the Board of Education of NY! New York has the largest number of schools and students in the Nation. They should know the value and importance of the right to vote and be able to execute such right."

"From the moment the performers belted out "Please Let my Mother Vote", the opening and signature number in the show, we were hooked on this production. We learned so much about the history behind the right to vote movement. And these characters put so much passion into their performances that the audience was captivated and mesmerized. I know we were riveted with every new number.
The other thing that was so significant about this play was its references to prejudice and racism around the original Women's Sufferage March in 1913 and the ongoing concerns from African American women about prejudice as the last state to ratify the 19th Amendment, Tennessee, voted .
Don't wait! Get on your phone or laptop now and rush to this incredible show. "
