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.

"I loved this play. I knew most of the history, but my 34-year-old daughter and her friend did not. None of us learned it in school. It is very important to know why we have our current rights, and we have to be careful to not lose them. Voting is the only way to keep our rights and we should respect the work that went into having that honor and responsibility. "

"Loved the show. Thought it original. Music was wonderful. As close to the stir that Hamilton was as I've seen on Broadway recently. Bought tickets for my son and daughter - in- law. Wanted to make sure they saw it!"

"What a terrific musical. The sets, staging, acting, singing and musical score were all five stars! The struggle of the Suffragist movement to obtain women's rights to vote was inspiring. Almost incredible to believe that they suffered so much at the hands of old white men in Congress ... but history does not lie. Great show and I highly recommend it."

"In an era where pop music takes over musical theater, Suffs brings back the authentic musical experience: story telling and terrific harmonies—yet with contemporary elements. The historical perspective is important for every person in this country to remember. The cast is superb with outstanding young and older performers. This, in combination with the story makes this show a strong women empowering experience. A huge congrats to Shaina Taub! Can’t wait to see her next work!"
