Hillary Clinton-Produced Musical 'Suffs' Faces Low Attendance Amid Broadway Boom

Despite historical significance and strong cast, 'Suffs' struggles to attract audiences, falling into the bottom quarter of Broadway shows.

'Suffs', a musical about the 1913 suffragette movement, is experiencing low attendance rates, filling only 81% of seats during a key Broadway season.
The play, co-produced by Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai, contrasts sharply with other Broadway hits despite its recent Tony nominations.
Previous sell-out performances at Off-Broadway's Public Theater highlight the show's shift in audience engagement upon moving to a larger stage.
The musical features an all-female and non-binary cast, aiming to depict a cross-generational fight for equality through a historical lens.
Industry comparisons note that newer Broadway shows typically draw larger crowds, especially ahead of the Tony Awards, underscoring 'Suffs'' challenges.
