Tickets to SUFFS at PPAC to go on Sale This Week
Performances will run from January 20-25.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Sep. 30, 2025
The first national tour of SUFFS, the acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical about the passionate American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote, will arrive in Providence as part of the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC)’s Taco and The White Family Foundation Broadway Series . The inspiring, award-winning musical will play a limited engagement at the Providence Performing Arts Center from Tuesday, January 20 to Sunday, January 25, 2026.
Created by Shaina Taub, the first woman to ever independently win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in the same season, this “thrilling, inspiring and dazzlingly entertaining” (Variety) new musical boldly explores the triumphs and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over. It’s a given that the women of the suffragist movement—who called themselves “Suffs” for short—were brilliant, but as they fought tirelessly for the right to vote, they were also flawed, stubborn, passionate and funny. SUFFS tells their story: the remarkable friendships, the heartbreak, and how this movement brought them together—or, in some cases, tore them apart.
SUFFS is winner of the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Musical, two Drama Desk Awards including Best Score. The successful Broadway production played a 10-month run at the Music Box Theatre from April 18, 2024, through January 5, 2025, and the first national tour marches across North America, launching this September in Seattle, WA.
“SUFFS HUMANIZES, EMPOWERS, MOVES, AND ENTERTAINS.”
