Shaina Taub is an accomplished singer, songwriter, composer, and musician. Suffs is a stage musical with a book, music, and lyrics by Taub, based on suffragists and their American women’s suffrage movement. It premiered Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in April 2022. In October 2023, it was announced that the show will transfer to Broadway in spring 2024. Taub will star in the Broadway production. One report noted that “Taub is only the second woman in Broadway history to write the book, music, lyrics, and star in her own musical.” Among members of the Suffs producing team is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Quote: “ ‘Broadway has always loomed large as this kind of shiny dream,’ Taub tells Broadway.com Managing Editor Beth Stevens on The Broadway Show. ‘It feels surreal to get to do it on my own terms. I don’t think I ever imagined it would be with my own show, really getting to say the thing I wanted to say.’ ”
