SUFFS

SUFFS is a Tony Award-winning musical that tells the story of the American women’s suffrage movement, focusing on the brilliant, passionate, and often funny activists who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. Direct from Broadway, this acclaimed production is created by Shaina Taub, who made history as the first woman to independently win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in the same season. Described by *Variety* as “thrilling, inspiring and dazzlingly entertaining,” the musical boldly explores both the triumphs and failures of a struggle for equality that remains far from over. It also won the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Musical. The show runs at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., from June 16 to June 28, 2026, with a runtime of two hours and 30 minutes including one intermission.
