"The Tony Award-winning Suffs brings the long struggle for women's suffrage in America to the stage, beautifully combining stirring music, political conflict, and compelling personal stories to shed light on a pivotal chapter in history. With a strong cast and crisp direction, The Phoenix Theatre Company delivers a moving regional theatre premiere production that celebrates the determination of the women who fought for the right to vote while acknowledging the divisions and sacrifices that shaped their movement. The drive for equality is a subject that remains relevant today, and the show's combination of humor, passion, and hard-won progress makes for an engaging and thought-provoking experience."   - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)

"Getting women the vote in this country wasn’t easy and in the early 20th century the right became a major issue until it finally came. This long-fought battle is brilliantly outlined and thoroughly explained in “Suffs,” by Shaina Taub who wrote the entire musical including a pleasing score and insightful historical details.  The show is brought to sparkling life in The Phoenix Theatre Company (TPTC) sharply energetic Chelsea Anderson staging.  The production is enhanced by a superlative cast who bring each woman who played a role in the fight to throbbing life."    -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
