Theater: Shaina Taub’s Public Theater Hit Musical, “Suffs,” Coming to Broadway This Spring With Stellar Cast

EXCLUSIVE “Suffs” is coming to Broadway this spring.

The Public Theater’s hit musical from 2022 is aiming for opening this spring with eyes on the Tony Awards.

Shaina Taub wrote and stars in the show which features Tony winner Nikki M. James and Tony nominees Phillipa Soo and Jenn Colella leading a stellar cast. Leigh Silverman directs. “Suffs” tells the story of the womens’ suffragette movement of the early 1900s. It won raves at the Public.

Broadway’s fall season is a little soft despite hits like “Merrily We Roll Along” and “Gutenberg!” But the winter and spring are going to frantic, I’m told, with a lot of musicals arriving.

Meanwhile, “Shucked” is closing until it can find a new home — New World Stages? — and “Some Like it Hot” may be close to going cold.
