Wells, and Carrie Chapman Catt, portraying their struggles, triumphs, and the intense personal and political battles they faced.
The musical does not shy away from the internal conflicts within the movement, including issues of race and class, showcasing a nuanced portrayal of these trailblazers.With a bold and modern score that blends various musical genres, Suffs infuses historical storytelling with a fresh, contemporary energy. The choreography is as dynamic as the activism it represents, capturing the fervor and urgency of a movement that changed the course of American history.
