Shaina Taub became a critical darling with Suffs, her Hamilton-esque musical about the women’s suffrage movement. Not only was its run at the Public Theater extended, seats are now flipping for double their box office price. A few weeks after Suffs closes at the end of May, she’ll move on to her next project, The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical, featuring music by Elton John with her own lyrics.
