Broadway Reddit is showing signs on the street for the show being filmed for Great Performances. The link feature isn’t working for me, otherwise I’d link to it.
If true, it’s the perfect show for them to do right now.
edit : It’s official now! :)

Yeah, that'll drum up some more interest for the upcoming national tour.
Well, I’ll be. That bird really did it.

The Clinton Foundation definitely chalked up some grant money for this.

Lest we forget, portions of lead producer Jill Furman's own IN THE HEIGHTS and HAMILTON were also captured for PBS programs in years past.

Were those documentaries Great Performances broadcasts, though?

Oh I could NOT be happier about this!!
And so glad that schools will be able to have this. Such a great way to teach this slice of American history.

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be filmed for PBS. How exciting.

I’ve known about this for a couple of weeks and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Still trying to get all the details in place.

I so want this to be accurate, but the signs (which appear to be the basis for BWW’s “confirmation” ) are equally consistent with this being a GP “making of” documentary with some scene content, like they did for In the Heights and Hamilton. Can anyone confirm that the plan is to broadcast the entire show?

Good question. I also heard this is currently filming as a PBS documentary about the show and its journey and that only footage is being filmed for the documentary. Hopefully they’re also planning on filming the entire show for future broadcast as well during this filming schedule.

Irresponsible of BWW to report the show is airing on PBS Great Performances based only on those notices.

Playbill ran with it as well

Hmm, earlier their headline had the "Rialto Chatter" heading which usually means it's rumored/unconfirmed but looking at it now, they removed that and it says that they have confirmed it will be filmed for television:
"Suffs is set to close on Broadway next month, but BroadwayWorld has confirmed that fans of the show will have the opportunity to view the production on their TV screens in the future as part of PBS' Great Performances series."

Purlie Victorious last year, Yellow Face and Suffs this year, rumors that we might be getting one for the OBC of Hadestown and Oh, Mary...
When proshot news rains, it pours!

The Playbill article sites confirmation from production press representatives. That’s an official source. The BWW article originally only referenced the signs posted.

Emily Skinner has been reposting the announcement without adding anything like “it’s only a documentary” so I’d say it’s safe to assume the full is show being aired.

It's been so nice without their nonsense, now the craziness is back. UGH
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
