Hillary Clinton’s feminist Broadway musical Suffs is struggling at the box office despite receiving a bounty of Tony Award nominations and an outpouring of adulatory coverage from the mainstream news media.

Suffs — a nearly three-hour musical about the rise of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender “non-binary” performers — played to 81 percent capacity last week, while dipping to 78 percent capacity the week before, according to data from The Broadway League.

Suffs — a nearly three-hour musical

Interesting tidbit in the excerpt - how long does a musical normally run? It sounds like the mention of the running time is an excuse for lower attendance?

And yes, "Springtime for Hillary" would have been a better name.

The only other time I can think of the term
‘Suffragette’ being used in popular music was about 40 years ago, when Paul McCartney sang his song ‘Jet!”

Last sentence of the first verse went:
“And Jet, I thought the major was a lady suffragette!”

Even then, very few thought about what it meant.
Most likely, no meaning. Just a good rhyme with ‘Jet’.

Just women singing on a bare stage with a single piano as the musical accompaniment .

If you had instead said, "Just bare women singing on a stage with a single piano as the musical accompaniment" I might have been tempted to buy a ticket. Any other scenario is a hard no.

SNUFFS i like it...

Vince foster song: Lay me down in Ft Marcy park,
i need the rest.
The public’s in the dark,
of clinton’s best.

three shots to the head I
suffered for that ride
to be labeled as a suicide.

needs work, but i think we gotta winner...

Bowie did “Suffragette City” back in the ‘70’s - working it’s way up to the lyric ‘Wham, Bam, thank you, Mam’ , if I recall correctly.

Oh, yes, he did indeed. That was a hard driving, horn blaring, good rock and roll song. Lots of energy.

I guess the name “Springtime for Hitler” was already taken
