EXCLUSIVE “Suffs” is coming to Broadway this spring.

The Public Theater’s hit musical from 2022 is aiming for opening this spring with eyes on the Tony Awards.

Shaina Taub wrote and stars in the show which features Tony winner Nikki M. James and Tony nominees Phillipa Soo and Jenn Colella leading a stellar cast. Leigh Silverman directs. “Suffs” tells the story of the womens’ suffragette movement of the early 1900s. It won raves at the Public.

Broadway’s fall season is a little soft despite hits like “Merrily We Roll Along” and “Gutenberg!” But the winter and spring are going to frantic, I’m told, with a lot of musicals arriving.

Meanwhile, “Shucked” is closing until it can find a new home — New World Stages? — and “Some Like it Hot” may be close to going cold.

Tony winning beloved Broadway star Nathan Lane sat behind yours truly for two hours last at the star studded premiere of “Gutenberg! The Musical!” We talked before the show and during intermission. He never gave away why he was really there.

Then at the end of the show, stars Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells — who spend their time on stage auditioning a fake musical about Johann Gutenberg to unseen Broadway producers — ask for a real producer to help them. Up jumped Lane onto the stage where he introduced himself as Max Bialystock — his character from “The Producers.” Lane also exclaimed, “This show is fantastic. I had the same feeling when I saw Cats!”

The audience went wild laughing and clapping, although they’d been doing that all night anyway. In the house besides Lane were Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul having a “Breaking Bad” reunion, producer director JJ Abrams, and the stars’ “Book of Mormon” Tony wining co-star Nikki M. James, plus Busy Phillips, and Jane Krakowski and David Rockwell.

With all the bad stuff going on in the world, I needed a laugh last night. Gad and Rannells are fully invested in playing these two guys who’ve put all their money into the “Gutenberg” idea. They know almost nothing about the inventor of the printing press, and confuse it with a wine press. They say they did some Googling and came up with some “historical fiction.”

The whole premise is ridiculous, of course. They duo play dozens of characters by changing an array of yellow truckers’ hats with different names on them. They’ve given Gutenberg a Gal Friday named Helvetica, named for the type font. Gad wears that hat. The songs are throwaway mostly but advance the plot although at some point they admit they have no idea how to end the show.

There are lots of Broadway send ups, and explanations of how a show works, as well as spoofing of the price of tickets. (A car is sold so they can buy their first ever Broadway tickets.) Gad and Rannells starred in the original “Book of Mormon,” have gone to other things but remained close. Their real life friendship seeps into the characters, you can see how fond they are of each other. Their characters’ determination to pull off the loony “Gutenberg!” musical is underscored by their blissfully ignorant passion.

Stay til the end! Not just for the guest actor of the night (Lane was doing a one off) but also for the most expensive plot twist maybe in Broadway history. It lasts two seconds and cost a pretty penny, but makes the show very satisfying.

“Gutenberg!” is a limited run through January.
