Suffs at Academy of Music

SUFFS - The suffragettes musical

Philadelphia, SUFFS is coming!

{Shaina Traub, alongside director Leigh Silverman, musical supervisor Andrea Grody, and choreographer Mayte Natalio, has created a theatrical production unlike any other - and the proof is in the accolades|If you had any doubt about whether you want to see SUFFS. SUFFS’ award-shelf is groaning heavily under the load of two Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, and two Drama Desk Awards. Beautifully ironic, Shaina Taub became the first woman ever to independently win Tony Awards, and is the second woman in Broadway history to write the lyrics and book, compose the music, and also star in her own musical. The best news of the year, however, is that you’ll be able to experience SUFFS right here in Philadelphia!

SUFFS taps into the fantastic historical story of the powerful American women behind the powerful American women in the preceding days to the approval of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution that granted women the right to vote. The wonderful, impassioned, intense, and funny theatrical production boldly delves into the successes and setbacks of the American women’s suffrage movement with breathtaking songs that charm as much as they tug at the heartstrings, magnificent storytelling that is as poignant as it is amusing, and riveting choreography that is much more than just dance moves.

SUFFS opened in April 2024 at the Music Box Theatre, receiving rave reviews all around. Reviewers found it to be rousing, inspiring, momentous, and well-crafted, not a woman-against-man type of show, but rather a wonderful exploration of the inner-workings of both the suffragette movement and women alike. SUFFS has it all: creative storytelling, a large musical variety, stellar performances, and a rollercoaster ride between intensity, humor, sorrow, spirit, and glee. Without a doubt: SUFFS is not only standing firm for a vote, but for a permanent place among the greats of Broadway.
