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.
"Suffs captures your attention from the very first scene. Splendid harmony, Wonderful lyrics. Captivating performers, perfect and simple scenery, and the story that every American citizen should know and applaud"

"From the moment the curtain lifted, this all female cast burst into song creating fabulous characters, painting a wonderful picture of just how difficult being female without a vote but also being a black female without a vote at this period of history.
I particularly loved the President character but all of the performances are great."

"My adult daughter and I attended Suffs during our recent trip to NYC and loved every minute! Great music and staging and so entertaining even while addressing such a serious topic. My 40-something daughter couldn’t get over how much she learned about this historic fight for the vote! Highly recommend!"

"The show has such important historical relevance about what American women went thru to vote! But the show is beautifully produced and super entertaining. So glad I saw it and think all people who take voting rights for granted should see it. Besides a great show."

"Thank you Shaina Taub for your original musical, Suffs! This play is a powerful reminder of why all women should exercise their right to vote since Alice Paul and friends went to prison to be able to vote. The storyline feels relevant today, over 100 years later, when American women are still not allowed to control their choices 100%."

"I went to see this with my 15 year-old daughter. We both loved it! My kid, who is very concerned about human rights and gender inequality, really connected with the historical content and the way the generational and intergenerational development of individual activists is portrayed, and resonated in particular with the concept of wanting "to know how it feels when we finally finish the fight." I appreciated the historical accuracy and the inclusion of the racism experienced by Black women within the suffragist movements as well as their contributions. And the presentation of both the impact of the 19th Amendment as well as its limitations."

"It moved fast and full of energy. There is nothing I didn’t like about it. I’ve been talking about it ever since I saw it and recommending it to all my friends and family.. I don’t think you could improve on this. I think it’s perfect..
It was also a great history lesson on how long it actually took for women to get the right to vote with the amendment 19.
We all heard about Seneca, but never realized how many years it took to accomplish one goal
