Suffs (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
2024
[ALICE] How will we do it when it's never been done? How will we find a way where there isn't one? [INEZ] So what just happened? [RUZA] Did Carrie kick you out or did you quit? [LUCY] As in kick us out of NAWSA altogether? [ALICE] Yes [INEZ] How will we afford our travel? [DORIS] How will we raise any money? [RUZA] Have you even thought of money? [LUCY] How will we— [ALICE] We can do it [LUCY, INEZ, RUZA & DORIS] How will we do it when it's never been done? [ALICE] I want us to meet someone [LUCY] A socialist? [ALICE] A socialite [ALVA] Alva Belmont [ENSEMBLE] Alva Belmont [ALVA] I divorced my husband for philandering Now I've got his millions for philanthropy [INEZ] You really think she'll give her money to a radical squad? [ALVA] Every worthy cause needs a rich old broad [ENSEMBLE] Alva Belmont [ALICE, spoken] I'm Alice Paul [ALVA, spoken] Oh, I know who you are, doll [ALICE, spoken] We're starting a woman's political party [ALICE] And we'd love for you to join it [ALVA] You mean, you'd love for me to fund it [ALICE, spoken] Oh, that would be great [ALVA, spoken] Let me get this straight [ALVA] You gals just stood in front of this suffrage establishment And the national press, no less And declared political warfare on Wilson and his party While the country's on the brink of war itself And now you shamelessly demand my riches of me On this risky rebel coup The nerve of you I love it To whom do I make out the check? [ALICE] The Woman's Party [ALVA] Should be the National Woman's Party Gives it more oomph [INEZ] Woman's Party is sharper [ALVA] Is this enough to cover your plans? [ALICE] National Woman's Party it is [RUZA] Now wait a tick You capitalist elite merely want to exploit your working class To promote your own dominance [ALVA, spoken] Ooh, I like you [ALVA] You really put the rage in suffrage [ALVA, spoken] What's your name, darling? [RUZA, spoken] Ruza [ALVA] Rosie, be a good little socialist and socialize [RUZA, spoken] That's not what that means [ALVA] 'Cause I've got a surprise Close your eyes Rosie, close your eyes Open sesame Welcome to your new NWP headquarters Right across the street from the White House [LUCY, spoken] Holy mackerel [RUZA] Now I'm on board [ALVA] Now go head out west on a radical spree [ALICE, LUCY, INEZ, RUZA & DORIS] How can we ever thank you? [ALVA] Some day you'll name it after me
