The full company of Suffs recently met with the press to introduce the new musical ahead of its Broadway bow. Featuring a book, music, and lyrics by Shaina Taub, who will also star in the show as suffragist Alice Paul, Suffs will begin previews March 26 at the Music Box Theatre ahead of an April 18 opening. 

The musical centers on the real-life women fighting for the right to vote in America. It premiered Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in 2022 to sold-out houses. In the video above, the company performs four songs from the musical: "The March," sung by the full company; "Great American Bitch," featuring Kim Blanck, Nadia Dandashi, Hannah Cruz, Taub, and Ally Bonino; "This Girl," performed by Jenn Colella; and "Keep Marching," featuring Taub and the full company. "Great American Bitch" and "Keep Marching" are songs newly added for the Broadway premiere. 

Leigh Silverman, who helmed Suffs at the Public, returns to direct the work for Broadway. Along with Taub, the cast includes Nikki M. James as Ida B. Wells, Colella as Carrie Chapman Catt, Grace McLean as President Woodrow Wilson, Cruz as Inez Milholland,  Blanck as Ruza Wenclawska, Anastacia McCleskey as Mary Church Terrell, Bonino as Lucy Burns, Brock as Dudley Malone, Dandashi as Doris Stevens, and Emily Skinner as Alva Belmont and Phoebe Burn.

Rounding out the company will be Hawley Gould as the alternate for Alice Paul, Jaygee Macapugay as Mollie Hay, and Laila Drew as Phyllis Terrell and Robin. The ensemble will include Dana Costello, Jenna Bainbridge Monica Tulia Ramirez, Ada Westfall, Christine Heesun Hwang, Kirsten Scott, Housso Semon, and D'Kaylah Unique Whitley.

Jill Furman and Rachel Sussman are producing the Broadway premiere, with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and activist Malala Yousafzai as co-producers.
