Hillary Clinton, Malala Yousafzai Toast Their New Broadway Show ‘Suffs’
The New York Times: “This is thrilling,” Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, said on a chilly Thursday night outside the Music Box Theater on 45th Street, as women in strapless gowns walked a purple carpet.
Ms. Clinton, a noted Broadway superfan, was making her Broadway producing debut with “Suffs,” a new musical about women’s suffrage that traces the campaign for the right to vote from 1913 through the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which was celebrating its opening night.

It’s so exciting to see new work put on Broadway. I fear that sometimes Broadway can be overrun by musicals that are there for pure entertainment, rather than standing up for something. I would love to see Suffs on Broadway before it closes, and I hope that it has a long-lasting and uneventful run other than filling the house. The story seems to be one of empowerment and excitement, much of which we need as we go into yet another election year. But I am also excited to see how this show may cause other producers and writers alike to create something just as thought-provoking, inspiring, and entertaining as Suffs. It’s exciting to see how many different headlining stars were there to support this musical on opening night, and not only that but Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai were two of the producers who got this show onto Broadway. I hope that Hillary and Malala use their stardom and influence to continue to bring Broadway shows to the stage that are just as influential and inspiring as Suffs.
