It is always baffling to me, the things that history books don’t teach us. How can something so important within the history of our country be overlooked? This was one of many conversations I had last night after attending the opening night performance of Suffs in Cincinnati.
We Shall Someday: World Premiere Recording, the new musical with book and lyrics by Harrison David Rivers and music and additional lyrics by Ted Shen, is available now. Listen here!
The North American Tour of SUFFS announced recoupment after just 28 playing weeks, having reached more than 375,000 patrons. The Tony Award-winning musical continues touring with upcoming engagements in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Memphis, and Fort Worth.
In a time on Broadway where so many shows are based on familiar IP, it's refreshing to have a new story come to the stage. In 2022, Suffs opened on Broadway at the Public Theatre, and then kept marching to Broadway, and now it is marching across the US.
Rise and shine, BroadwayWorld! It is May 1, 2026 and it's time to catch up on all of the theatrical happenings you may have missed in the last 24 hours.
This May, there are plenty of new titles for Broadway fans to watch, including the film recording of Suffs, the series adaptation of Amadeus, Aleshea Harris's Is God Is film, and more.
We have an exclusive first listen to a track from the upcoming recording of We Shall Someday. In the video here, check out the song “Forward,” performed by Danyel Fulton.
Joy Machine Records announced the world premiere cast recording of WE SHALL SOMEDAY, a new musical spanning three generations of a Black family confronting racial injustice, featuring orchestrations by two-time Tony winner Michael Starobin.
Suffs has rolled into Minneapolis for a quick stop, and it’s exactly the kind of show that sneaks up on you—in a good way. Playing now through April 12 at the Orpheum Theatre and presented by Hennepin Arts, this Tony-winning musical about the fight for women’s suffrage feels a lot more immediate than you might expect from something rooted in history.
We are gloriously entertained and usefully educated by SUFFS, with a score from Shaina Taub that outshines HAMILTON, but perhaps we should also be more challenged.
White Women in the United States didn’t earn the right to vote until 1920, and Black women weren’t allowed to vote until 1965. This shocking history and the effort it took for women to secure these rights is something many of us didn’t learn in school, but thankfully the musical Suffs is here to fill in those gaps, along with some fantastic songs and affecting moments.
If you don’t already know them, you’ll likely want to look up the names of Alice Paul, Carrie Chapman Catt, Ida B. Wells and Ruza Wenclawska…after you’re done applauding until your palms are raw, that is.
The impassioned SUFFS, currently playing at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, is another unmissable national tour, combining true historical drama with deep relationship building and classical musical theatre with a contemporary pop sensibility.
No doubt there are a lot of Broadway World readers interested in hearing about life on the road as an ensemble member while understudying two roles, wondering what it takes to be prepared at a moment’s notice to step into a role for which you may not have had a lot of rehearsal. I spoke with Jenna Lea Rosen about her experience on tour with SUFFS.
The national touring company of Tony winner for Best Book and Best Score Suffs rolls into San Francisco with a production that is just as powerful and relevant as its 2022 Broadway debut. With its major theme of perseverance to a cause, the story of the suffragists movement can be seen as a precursor to the civil rights, gay rights, ERA, #metoo, and No Kings marches of today.
Get an exclusive first look at SUFFS' North American Tour with cast details and insights into this award-winning musical's powerful story.
The National Touring production of the Broadway musical SUFFS, now playing at ASU Gammage until October 19, didn’t arrive on the stage quietly. Like its subject matter, it gathered like a movement and was shaped by persistence. The show, written, composed, and, on its Broadway opening, led by Shaina Taub, is a reclamation of voices long overlooked and of equality battles still to be won.
Direct from Broadway, the Tony Award-winning musical SUFFS charges into San Diego with fire, wit, and a powerhouse cast determined to make history sing again.
