"Suffs: A Review of the Musical March of Women"

"Suffs," a musical about the suffragist movement, opens at the Music Box Theatre with improved staging and character development but still falls short of being riveting. The show's historical narrative lacks compelling moments, despite some rousing ensemble tunes and spirited sequences. While the musical addresses the fractured subgroups within the suffrage movement, it struggles to balance lighter moments with the weight of its subject matter. The finale encapsulates the mixed feelings the production leaves audiences with, highlighting the ongoing struggle for women's rights.
