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.
"Amazing reminder of what women went through to get the vote. And a timely message in this day and age when women’s rights, safety and health are once again at risk. Unfortunately the fight is not over. Wonderfully done,- music, voices, dialogue superb, excellent show."

"This should be performed in every high school theater program! Both Men and Woman in the audience felt the emotional highs and lows, there were tears of laughter, disbelief and hope. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen! Take your daughters and sons so that they understand what makes our Country so special. A must see before November!"

"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!"
