Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai will be making their Broadway debuts… as producers!
The former Secretary of State and the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate have joined the producing team of the upcoming Broadway musical Suffs, which will open next year.
Suffs, written by Shaina Taub, originally ran off-Broadway last year at the Public Theater and now it will play at the Music Box Theatre with an official opening night on April 18.
It’s 1913 and the women’s movement is heating up in America, anchored by the suffragists — “Suffs,” as they call themselves — and their relentless pursuit of the right to vote. Reaching across and against generational, racial, and class divides, these brilliant, flawed women entertain and inspire us with the story of their hard-won victory in an ongoing fight. So much has changed since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment over a century ago, and yet we’re reminded sometimes we need to look back, in order to march fearlessly into the future.

“I am thrilled to join with the team behind Suffs in bringing Shaina Taub’s remarkable musical about the unsung heroes of the American women’s suffrage movement to the Broadway stage – where it rightly belongs,” said Hillary Rodham Clinton. “And I can’t wait for audiences to experience this soul-stirring slice of long-overlooked American history; both entertaining and enlightening, Suffs paints a vivid picture of the necessary battles for democracy and equality that are still being fought today.”
“I loved Suffs when I saw it last year at The Public Theater,” said Malala Yousafzai. “Many women around the world are still fighting for equality — and we draw inspiration and strength through learning the stories of those who came

The video features Sivan performing a lap dance for actor Ross Lynch, who is already well-known for his roles in series like the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, not to mention his considerable online following who thirsts after him on the regular.The visual is undeniably provocative, regardless of the gender or sexual identity of those involved, and thus it fits perfectly with this era of Sivan’s career.“One of Your Girls” goes deep into the sexual experiences that Sivan had with men who have yet to fully embrace their sexual identity, or who simply are straight but love a little man action on the side.Sivan shared his thoughts on these moments with People, noting that some of those men “would’ve bullied me in high school, and now here they are paying me attention.”He further opened up about past entanglements with these men, stating that “at the sacrifice of my own self-worth, I’m throwing myself at them.”He added that once he did so, “then you’re really just at their beck and call, and that can sometimes not feel so great.”With his new single, Sivan provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex topic of hooking up with men who identify as straight, challenging the notion that such encounters are purely titillating.While there can indeed be an allure, there is a downside to these experiences, and Sivan isn’t afraid to candidly share his feelings and insights on these encounters, a viewpoint that is not often discussed openly.“One of Your Girls” is the latest focal point from Sivan’s highly-anticipated album, Something To Give Each Other.The full-length release coincided with the music video debut and represents one of the most eagerly awaited pop music releases of 2023.To provide a taste of the set, Sivan
