Tony winning musical Suffs will celebrate its recent Grammy nomination with a special event hosted by The Grammy Museum at NYC's The Greene Space next month.
A New York Evening with Suffs will feature music and conversation December 11, highlighting the evolution of the musical from first drafts of songs to the final versions that fans hear on Broadway each night. The event will be moderated by Grammy nominees Shaina Taub, the musical's Tony-winning author and star; and Suffs music supervisor and music director Andrea Grody, and will feature performances from members of the Suffs cast.
