Suffs: Show Them Who You Are

 Good news! 

Suffs the Musical will be filmed for posterity! 

According to Playbill, Suffs was filmed right before Christmas for PBS' Great Performances series, capturing the original Broadway cast before the show closed on January 5th. 

There is no date for when the performance will air. 

I am so excited about this. I think more shows should be filmed for people to enjoy and I'm glad PBS is filming this one. I will look forward to watching it and hopefully being able to buy it so I can watch it whenever I want, especially as it's very unlikely I'll be able to see the show one last time before it closes. 

I had secretly hoped this would somehow get filmed. There were some powerful names behind the show and I thought maybe someone would have a connection to preserve this amazing show. Maybe it would then get some more love if more people could see it. 

Looks like at least one wish came true. 

Of course, now we just need to wait for the air date - which does worry me a little. PBS has supposed to air both a filmed performance of the musical Waitress (with Sara Bareilles) and the Ragtime reunion concert that happened a year or so ago. Both have gone on the schedule only to be taken off again, sometimes only hours later. It makes me worried the same thing might happen to Suffs. 

But I'm going to stay positive and believe we will get Suffs on PBS this year. I would say March for Women's History Month but I doubt they would be able to edit it that fast. So maybe 4th of July? 

One can hope, I guess. 

So, how excited are you for this news? Are you as excited as me? Are you intrigued? Let me know in the comments below! 

And remember - keep marching!
