Suffs is the Tony Award®-winning musical that's making history on Broadway! Crafted by the supremely talented Shaina Taub, she's shattered ceilings by becoming the first woman to single-handedly snag Tony Awards for both Best Book and Best Score in the same year. Beyond its Tony Award® glory, Suffs has clinched the title of Best Musical from the Outer Critics Circle, bagged a pair of Drama Desk Awards including one for Best Score, and it's been hailed as the season's most heart-stirring musical by the Chicago Tribune. This musical dives into the lives of the suffragist women, affectionately known as âSuffs.â These women weren't just intellectual giants in their pursuit for the voteâthey were complex beings, marked by their persistence, humor, and the fiery passion driving their cause. Suffs unfolds the tapestry of their camaraderie, the setbacks that tested them, and showcases the push-pull dynamics that either united or divided them. Venturing boldly into an equality struggle that echoes into today, Suffs stands as a theatrical behemoth, lauded by Forbes as a âmust-see,â and a stirring nudge reminding us that while progress is within reach, it's never a sure thing.

ISBN 9781495029684. UPC: 888680078515. 9.0x12.0x0.492 inches. With a Foreword by Thomas Riis.
Late in his life, composer J. Rosamond Johnson (Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing) submitted to his longtime publisher, E.B. Marks, a list of songs that would comprise a volume of his best early popular songs written with his pre-1910 partner Bob Cole and his brother, James Weldon Johnson (Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man). That list was never put into print...until now. Featuring an introductionby Dr. Thomas Riis (Just Before Jazz) and several rare photos, this new compilation is the latest legacy offering from the Marks archive, which contains a rich heritage of turn-of-the-century African-American, and thus distinctly American, pre-jazz-era popular song. Includes: Ain't Dat Scan'lous * Big Indian Chief * The Big Red Shawl * The Bleeding Moon * Congo Love Song * The Countess of Alagazam * Fishing * I Don't Want to Be No Actor Man No Mo' * I'll Always Love Old Dixie * I'll Keep a Warm Spot in My Heart for You * I've Got Troubles of My Own * The Katy-Did, the Cricket and the Frog * Lazy Moon * Lit'l Gal * Louisiana Lize * Lovely Daughter of Allah * Ma Mississippi Belle * The Maiden with the Dreamy Eyes * Mudder Knows * My Heart's Desiah is Miss Mariah * My Castle on the Nile * Nobody's Lookin' but de Owl an' de Moon * Oh, Didn't He Ramble * The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground * On the Road to Monterey * The Pathway of Love * Roll Them Cotton Bales * Save It for Me! * The Spirit of the Banjo! * Sugar Babe * Two Eyes * Under the Bamboo Tree * When de Jack O'Lantern Starts to Walk About * When It's All Goin' Out, and Nothin' Comin' In * Who Do You Love?
