Suffs at Academy of Music

The suffragettes musical

Gear up and get ready, Philadelphia, the suffragettes are 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 is the first woman ever to independently win Tony Awards, and is the second woman in Broadway history behind the lyrics, book, and music, while also performing in the production. The best news of the year, however, is that SUFFS will be gracing the stages of Pennsylvania this winter!

SUFFS taps into the fantastic tale of the fierce women behind the suffragette movement of the early 20th century. The wonderful, impassioned, audacious, and funny theatrical sensation boldly explores the successes and setbacks of the American women’s suffrage movement with breathtaking songs that charm as much as they yank at the tear ducts, magnificent storytelling that is as touching as it is witty, and breathtaking choreography that both grips and shows.

SUFFS premiered in April 2024 at the Music Box Theatre to massive critical acclaim. It has been hailed as rousing, life-changing, momentous, and well-crafted, not a woman-against-man type of show, but rather an incredible probe of the below-the-surface workings of both the suffragette movement and women alike. SUFFS ticks all the boxes: innovative storytelling, a rich musical palette, fantastic stagecraft, and a rollercoaster ride between intensity, humor, sorrow, bravery, and glee. Without a doubt: SUFFS is not only standing firm for a vote, but for a permanent place among the greats of Broadway.
