Hillary Clinton’s feminist Broadway musical ‘Suffs’ isn’t doing too well at the box office despite receiving a slew of Tony Award nominations and mainstream media coverage.
The nearly three-hour musical, which we can only imagine is similar to watching paint dry, is about the rise of the suffragette movement and features women and gender “non-binary” performers.
The show’s description reads:
“It’s 1913 and the women’s movement is heating up in America, anchored by the suffragists — “Suffs,” as they call themselves — and their relentless pursuit of the right to vote. Reaching across and against generational, racial, and class divides, these brilliant, flawed women entertain and inspire us with the story of their hard-won victory in an ongoing fight. So much has changed since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment over a century ago, and yet we’re reminded sometimes we need to look back, in order to march fearlessly into the future.”

According to data from The Broadway League, the musical played to 81 percent capacity last week, and dipped to 78 percent capacity the week before
The figures show that the show is facing trouble, as it should still draw big crowds during Broadway’s peak season.
To put the numbers in perspective, the new Broadway musical Lempicka just posted a closing notice after playing to 83 percent.
Hillary Clinton is one of the main producers of Suffs and has politicized the musical from the outset.

Breitbart reported:
The former first lady and two-time presidential candidate attended the show’s opening last month and has promoted the show in several TV interviews, including stops at NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and CBS Sunday Morning.
Clinton used Suffs as part of a recent Broadway-themed fundraiser for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. She and Lin-Manuel Miranda hosted the April 3 fundraiser in New York, which featured a performance from the Suffs cast.
Among the other producers of Suffs is Vice President Kamala Harris’ extreme leftist niece, Meena Harris.
Last month, Clinton was spotted shuffling into The Wiz Broadway show in New York City, donning a bright yellow coat as she hobbled into the show with Secret Service.
