Suffs is a musical with music, lyrics, and a book by Shaina Taub, based on suffragists and the American women's suffrage movement, focusing primarily on the historical events leading up to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 that gave women the right to vote.
Following its off-Broadway premiere at The Public Theater in April 2022, the Broadway production opened at the Music Box Theatre on April 18, 2024, to mostly positive reviews. Suffs was nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, winning for both Best Book and Best Score. The production closed in January 2025, and a North American tour began in September 2025 and is scheduled to end in August 2026.
