Some thoughts and questions I had while watching the Broadway musical "Suffs."

An incomplete list.

• Oh no. Here we go. Not really a “musical person” why did I think this would be different.

• Is this going to be girl Hamilton? White Girl Hamilton? The snarky Times headline even used a Hamilton lyric in it.

• Ok. They’re addressing it. They’re addressing the racism in the suffrage movement. Congratulations, now they can get back to -

• Oh they’re not moving on.

• Is Ida B. Wells the main character of this show?

• Is this a play about the racism and problematic internal politics of the suffrage movement?

• Yes.

• It’s actually kind of nice that they’re not rapping.

• Holy shit, Jenn Colella.

• The best song I have heard in a musical is “This Girl”

• Wow, Jenn Colella.

• Am I…no. Don’t be ridiculous. You had all of college to figure that out and you have a husband now! A beautiful family.

• I am a straight woman who will have a beautiful family with Jenn Colella.

• Is this song about a woman alienating her entire life to work for what she believes in, indeed, making me cry?

• Shaina Taub as Alice Paul as Jamie Lee/All of Us.

• Shaina Taub has made me cry in public.

• Did I go to camp with Shaina?

• Nope. Different person. That was internalized antisemitism. Sorry.

• Crying again. Oh no. Oh G-d. I am outright crying unstoppable tears in public at a song sung by a NJG I either did or did not go to camp with.

• Wait - sorry. The stage is on fire.

• The stage is on fire and everyone is dancing and screaming.

• This is a coven.

• Suffs is a shockingly intersectional coven and I am in the coven.

• I am taking my niece to this.

• May everyone thinking of not voting in this election see this.

• May every man see this.

• We are going right back to before this.

• If this happens again, I will march and hold my ground with my friends and people I admire.

• I am irrationally angry that I was not taught this story in school, and my kid might not be taught this story in school.

• I will teach my sons this story.

• If Nikki M. James doesn’t win the Tony, then awards, I will be the first to say, are meaningless.

• My sons would pronounce this musical “Thufths.”

• I am a musical person.
