In recent news, a play produced by Hillary Clinton called “Suffs” is failing to draw in audiences on Broadway. The play, which focuses on the women’s suffrage movement of the early 1900s, only reached 81% capacity in a week, placing it at the bottom of the list among Broadway shows. It seems like even with an all-female and non-binary cast, including Tony winner Nikki M. James and others, the play is struggling to captivate audiences.

Schadenfreude, Thy Name is Clinton: Hillary-Produced Play 'Suffs' Bombs on Broadway https://t.co/ytz5DRbtGb— Ward Clark (@TheGreatLander) May 12, 2024
From a politically conservative perspective, this news brings a sense of satisfaction. The attempt to push a narrative of an ongoing “struggle for equality” through a play about a movement from over a hundred years ago seems out of touch with reality. Women have had the right to vote for a long time now, and it’s questionable how relevant this topic is in today’s society. Additionally, the use of the term “Suffs” to refer to suffragettes comes across as trivializing an important historical movement.
It’s no surprise that a production tied to Hillary Clinton, a divisive political figure, is not resonating with a broader audience. The play’s possible focus on pushing a woke agenda instead of providing engaging entertainment likely contributes to its lackluster performance. Political productions often struggle to attract widespread interest, especially when they come from individuals with strong partisan affiliations.
In a city like New York, where progressive ideologies often dominate, the fact that “Suffs” is not succeeding speaks volumes. It suggests that even in a liberal stronghold, people are not necessarily interested in overly politicized art forms. This failure can be seen as a reminder that audiences want compelling storytelling and entertainment, not just political messaging.
Overall, the underwhelming response to “Suffs” serves as a reminder that forcing political agendas into artistic endeavors does not guarantee success. It’s a testament to the importance of staying true to the essence of storytelling and connecting with audiences on a deeper, more universal level.
