"How Long" from SUFFS by Shaina Taub | The Public Theater
A musical event one hundred years in the making, SUFFS brings to life a complicated chapter in the ongoing battle for the right to vote: the American women’s suffrage movement. Written by and featuring one of the most exciting new voices in theater, Shaina Taub, this epic new musical takes an unflinching look at these unsung trailblazers. In the years leading up to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, an impassioned group of suffragists - “Suffs” as they called themselves - took to the streets, pioneering protest tactics that transformed the country. They risked their lives as they clashed with the president, the public, and each other. A thrilling story of brilliant, flawed women working against and across generational, racial, and class divides, SUFFS boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over.
We are currently developing this Shaina Taub musical. "How Long" was presented as a part of The New York Times Events' OFFSTAGE event series on COVID-19's impact on theater-making.

0:56 the notes and rhythm here remind me of another song but I can’t put my finger on what it is
How long must we wait for Suffs to move to Broadway? Cause we won’t wait another day.

It should
When Inez died, Alice Paul was blaming herself
OMG, what a train wreck
No.
