Highlights of our day trip to see SUFFS, the Musical!

 MWHC went to Broadway! 

MWHC had the pleasure of traveling by bus with New Travel Transportation of Randolph, MA to New York City on Sunday, November 17, 2024, to see the Tony Award-winning SUFFS Musical! We had an amazing lunch at Frankie and Johnny’s before walking over to the Music Box Theatre. 

SUFFS was a truly amazing musical! We are so grateful to have been able to see it before the show closes on January 5, 2025. We highly recommend seeing the musical if you can! We hope it will come to Boston and we’ll be able to see it here! Check out the final song of the show: “KEEP MARCHING!”

ABOUT SUFFS!

By Elaine F. Weiss, suffrage scholar and author of the highly-acclaimed narrative history The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote.

When the curtain rises on SUFFS, we witness the first, tense meeting of two of the greatest political leaders of the 20th century. Alice Paul is a headstrong 27-year-old activist with bold ideas. Carrie Chapman Catt, 53, is a protégé of Susan B. Anthony, the leader of the American woman suffrage movement, and one of the most famous women in the world. American women’s struggle to win the right to vote is entering its seventh decade, with a third generation of dedicated activists trying to convince the nation that “We The People” also includes women. After hundreds of state and local campaigns across the country, little progress has been made...

...SUFFS is a tale of women’s rights and voting rights, racism and sexism, political expediency, and moral obligation. It is about how citizens can work to make change; why protest is patriotic. The women of SUFFS try to answer the question they ask themselves: “How can we do it if it’s never been done?” A question for all of us to ponder today.
