A musical one hundred years in the making,ย Suffsย brings to life a complicated chapter in the ongoing battle for the right to vote.
Written by one of the most exciting new voices in theater, this epic new musical takes an unflinching look at the unsung trailblazers of the American womenโs suffrage movement. In the seven years leading up to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, an impassioned group of suffragistsโโSuffsโ as they called themselvesโtook 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,ย Suffsย boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over.
