Hillary Clinton's Feminist Musical ‘Suffs' Bombs, Will Close After 8 Months on Broadway

[Breitbart] Suffs, the feminist Broadway musical that counts Hillary Clinton as one of its main producers, is officially a box-office bomb, with the show announcing a closing date after reportedly failing to turn a profit after nearly six months.

The musical — a nearly three-hour celebration of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender "non-binary" performers — cost $19 million to produce, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing reviewed by the New York Times. That money has not been recouped, with ticket revenue failing to cover the weekly cost of operations.

Producers announced Friday that Suffs will close January 5 — only running for eight full months since its opening on April 18, 2024. Among the show’s other producers is Meena Harris, the niece of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Clinton aggressively promoted Suffs ahead of its highly touted opening in April, appearing on late-night talk shows and even holding a Democratic fundraiser tied to the show. But her efforts, as well as reams of favorable coverage by the media, failed to juice ticket sales.

#1 given the economic and crime situation in NYC it is probably nearly impossible to have a musical hit these days

#3 'Suffs' Snuffed. Feminists Chuffed.

Maybe it is time to pitch my spec script "So What and the Seven Creatures of Indeterminate Species and Gender". If we can't get Hillary herself as So What, maybe Weta could do her as CGI. They did a great job with Gollum in "Lord of the Rings".

#4 I never heard about this "play" until its obit. And that's the way it should be.

#5 She must have gone to Hamilton, loved it, drank a bunch of box wine, got out the checkbook and here we have it.

#7 I would say I hope she lost her shirt backing this production. But, in fact, I sincerely hope for aesthetic reasons that she just lost a lot of money. We need her to keep her shirt on.

#10 The music is not memorable, and the performance looks like a high school musical.
