Suffs on Broadway

Suffs
Musical

Regarding seeing is believing, every season in NY, a new crop of shows opens. While I am not a Broadway critic, I enjoy attending a few shows yearly. It feels like my duty as a New Yorker to support the incredible amenity in our backyard, which is Broadway. I was skeptical when summoned to attend the premiere of Suffs, a show that my sister-in-law and fellow Louper Allison R. is a producer of. This is a show about historical events surrounding the women’s suffrage movement written by and starred in by Shaina Taub, with obvious parallels to Lin Miranda. Very simply, the show is a triumph. It is well written, well performed, and necessary to see. I even liked it better the second time I saw it, when I did not have to concentrate on the story (of which I was shamefully unfamiliar) and could focus on the standout and character-driven performances by the all-female cast. See it as soon as possible, though I suspect it will have a very long run. You have to see it to believe it.
