“A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down,” according to Disney’s “Mary Poppins.” The same thing seems to go for politics and the arts, if you look at things like the new musical SUFFS, which is being given a bang-up production these days at the Music Box theatre on West 45 off Broadway about the fight for the right to vote, regardless of sex. The other night, the Working People’s Party—which works outside the usual two-party political system with individuals, and partners in unions, community organizations and social movements—held a talkback joined by several of SUFFS' creative team, talking about how theatre and other arts forms are bringing history and current events to a broader audience by being entertaining as well as newsworthy.
