If Lin-Manuel Miranda could turn monetary policy in the late 1700s and early 1800s into a Tony Award-winning blockbuster with \u201cHamilton,\u201d the struggle for the right to vote by American women would seem to hold similar dramatic possibilities.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what Shaina Taub pulled off with \u201cSuffs,\u201d a musical about the fight for the 19th Amendment, which was ratified in 1920. Thanks to \u201cSuffs,\u201d Taub became the first woman to win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in the same season. It opened on Broadway in 2024 and its story includes historical figures like Woodrow Wilson and Ida B. Wells.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuffs\u201d is being presented by the Pittsburgh CLO at the Benedum Center starting next Tuesday. Showtimes are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and July 23-24, 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. July 25 and 2 p.m. July 26.<\/p>\n
