Broadway Las Vegas
They say well-behaved women seldom make history. Just ask the Suffs.
Direct from Broadway comes the Tony Award-winning musical Suffs, about the brilliant, passionate women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote.
From the groundbreaking mind of Shaina Taub, this “thrilling, inspiring and dazzlingly entertaining” (Variety) musical brings its highly anticipated national tour to The Smith Center from October 7-12.
When the curtain rises, audiences are whisked into a world of political intrigue, stirring anthems and unexpected humor. We witness Alice Paul, a headstrong young activist with bold ideas, challenge established suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Catt, while Black suffragist Ida B. Wells demands an inclusive movement for all women.
As the Chicago Tribune wrote, “Suffs does what all of the best Broadway musicals do: It humanizes, empowers, entertains and moves an audience.”
Here's why Suffs will be one of the theatrical highlights of your year:
- Award-Winning Musical Brilliance
Shaina Taub made history as the first woman to independently win Tony Awards for both Best Book and Best Score in the same season. Lin-Manuel Miranda called her "the future of musical theater" for good reason – her songs blend intelligence, wit and emotional power that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
- Entertainment That Moves and Inspires
Suffs delivers everything you want in great theater: unforgettable music, star-making performances and moments that make you laugh, cheer and occasionally reach for tissues. This isn't a history lesson; it's a riveting show that happens to illuminate our past while making us think about our present.
- A Story That Needs to Be Experienced
These remarkable women weren't just fighting for the vote; they challenged fundamental assumptions about power and who deserves a seat at the table. Through vibrant staging, compelling characters and Taub's soaring score, Suffs transforms a pivotal American story into must-see entertainment.
Join us this October for this extraordinary celebration of women who refused to be silenced, who marched through ridicule and imprisonment and who ultimately changed America forever. Their story reminds us that creating change requires both passion and persistence – all set to some of the most stirring music onstage today.
