A musical event one hundred years in the making, SUFFS brings to life a complicated chapter in the ongoing battle for the right to vote: the American women's suffrage movement. Written by and featuring one of the most exciting new voices in theater, Shaina Taub, this epic new musical takes an unflinching look at these unsung trailblazers. In the seven years leading up to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, an impassioned group of suffragists-"Suffs" as they called themselves-took to the streets, pioneering protest tactics that transformed the country. They risked their lives as they clashed with the president, the public, and each other. A thrilling story of brilliant, flawed women working against and across generational, racial, and class divides, SUFFS boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over.

Review: SUFFS at The 5th Avenue Theatre
8 / 10
Now, for a little backstory, I managed to see this at The Public Theatre in 2022 before it went on to Broadway and it’s Tony wins for best book and best score. And honestly, I didn’t care for it. I felt it didn’t flow well, and the songs didn’t move things along and were too repetitious. But I kept hearing how it had gotten so much better and now I’m forced to eat a little crow as the show has grown by leaps and bounds. I still feel there’s a bit too much repetition, but the rest of my qualms are completely gone. With a beautiful pacing and staging from director Leigh Silverman, Taub’s show doesn’t just tell the story, it makes you feel it and its importance. And the songs are lovely.
Review: SUFFS at Orpheum Theatre
9 / 10
Taub’s score is fantastic, right from the opening number “Let Mother Vote” to "Finish the Fight", to the stirring "Wait My Turn". There’s both humor and heartbreaking drama when the suffs are jailed for opposing US involvement in WWI. The women see themselves as nurturers to both their men, so why not the nation. The men, mostly represented by Woodrow Wilson, are misogynistic chauvinists. Direction and staging by Leigh Siverman (Violet, Yellow Face) is terrific and the ensemble shines from start to finish. Its a rollercoaster of emotions well worth the ride.
