Interesting facts

Suffs is a musical with music, lyrics, and a book by Shaina Taub, based on suffragists and the American women's suffrage movement, focusing primarily on the historical events leading up to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 that gave women the right to vote.

Production history

The musical, now called Suffs, began previews on March 13, 2022, at The Public Theater. It was initially going to open on April 6, 2022, but the preview the night before as well as the opening night were cancelled due to a large number of positive COVID-19 cases among the cast. The production was initially announced to run until April 24 but was extended until May 29, 2022.

The show began previews on March 26, 2024, and opened on April 18 at the Music Box Theatre. Taub became the second woman in Broadway history "to write the book, music, lyrics, and star in her own musical." Among the producers are former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton and activist Malala Yousafzai. Most of the off-Broadway cast reprised their roles.

The production was filmed in December 2024 for Great Performances, and PBS aired the musical on May 8, 2026.

A North American tour began in September 2025 at the Capitol Theatre in Yakima, Washington, with stops in 26 other cities scheduled through August 2026.
