Suffs

Great story with beautiful music.

Attended Suffs, the story of the suffragette movement co-produced by Hillary Clinton. It was a packed house at Music Box Theater and a riveting 2 1/2 hour performance of phenomenal acting and 🎵 singing. The play has been extended if you are in the area.

Got my tickets through the Today Tix AP for the bargain price of $77. No compensation received, but check it out as it has fair pricing, and even discloses fees that are included in the ticket price.

We were in the last row balcony and the view. — shall we say priceless.🌸

Me and Jeanie in our hats.

Saw Hillary on Fallon promoting the show and she brought him a 👒 as the suffragettes were known for them. Thought this was an audience thing so made 2 for my daughter and I to wear. Well, we were the only ones in the theater wearing hats but she was a sport and wore it through the show. 😍

She knows what a crazy mother she has!

Learned much of the movement’s history from the play. Didn’t realize how much President Woodrow Wilson blocked the women’s movement. He even had the suffragettes jailed.

It also told of the differences in the movement between the conservative and radical gals as well as how black women were de marginalized. An honest portrayal.

But back to Woody, interesting fact,,, he acquired the Spanish Flu and was incapacitated the last year(s) of his presidency. He had a stroke as well as other sequelae. His wife, Edith, refused to have anyone see him. She ran the country, and when World 🌎 War I, ended they contacted her first to report this 🆕 news.

Not like our Joe whose favorite line is,

Never underestimate the power of a woman.”

Thanks to all those women who devoted their lives to this movement.

Let’s honor their memories, and not vote for a rapist who bars female health care.
