Go Behind the Curtain of the Musical “Suffragist” | OffStage

- Опубліковано 12 сер 2020
- The musical “Suffragist” was due to premiere this fall. Then, everything changed.
The creators and cast of the show discuss the pandemic-interrupted journey of “Suffragist” and show two numbers from the work in progress - their first-ever public performance.
The show tells the true story of the growing rivalry between the seasoned organizer Carrie Chapman Catt and the young radical Alice Paul, along with many other suffragists.
First, we explore the production and the ongoing effects of the suffrage movement with composer Shaina Taub, director Leigh Silverman and scenic designer Mimi Lien, in an in-depth conversation with Times narrative projects editor Veronica Chambers.
Then, members of the show’s cast - including Jenn Colella, Nikki M. James and Kuhoo Verma - talk with theater reporter Michael Paulson about their experiences preparing for the show, and how “Suffragist” has shaped their thinking about our world today.
Best of all, watch members of the cast perform the show-stopping ballad “How Long,” and see Tony Award winner Nikki M. James, who plays Ida B. Wells, sing her solo song “Wait My Turn.”
Music & Lyrics by Shaina Taub.
This is the second episode of Offstage, our new series about theater-making during the pandemic. - Розваги
