Why the Broadway Musical SUFFS Is More Important Than Ever

Why the Broadway Musical SUFFS Is More Important Than Ever

Broadway actor Marya Grandy and the Lied Center’s Executive Director Bill Stephan join the show to discuss Suffs, the Tony Award-winning musical about the women who fought for the right to vote. We explore the overlooked history behind the suffrage movement, the show’s modern political resonance, and why its message about activism, democracy, and persistence still feels urgent today.

Suffs will play May 5-10, 2026, at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, find ticket information at liedcenter.org
