Shaina Taub’s musical Suffs is an eye opening rebel rousing look at the fight for women’s right to vote in this country 100 years ago. It’s a BIG story and some important pieces of information are left out in its 2 hour and 15 minute performance, but it’s the pieces of information that are left IN that will get you fired up and want to go out and do something to move the cause along. It’s the story of the struggle between the women who have been at it for decades and the young women who come in and feel a more radical approach is necessary. Although the lyrics are at times repetitive, they are moving and poignant. I thought I knew this story but I clearly did not. A march on Washington with 200,000 women in 1913?! Wow! Who knew? I loved every minute of this and cannot wait to see it again. The Music Box Theatre has good sight lines, but no elevator so be aware when choosing your seats. There is one 15 min. Intermission. This musical is worth your time.

Excellent ensemble. Not a bad performance in it. Music suited the subject matter and characters. A relevant and timely book. I highly recommend it to adult and younger theater goers alike.
