VIDEO: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Hillary Clinton Speak After HAMILTON Fundraising Performance

Last Tuesday, July 12th, the Broadway smash HAMILTON gave a special matinee performance of the 11-time Tony Award winning musical to benefit Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Tickets to the extra performance sold between $2,700 for general admission tickets to $100,000 for premium seats and the event reportedly brought in over $3.5 million.

Hillary Clinton's social media pages have now posted a video of the speeches that followed the performance, where Miranda joined Clinton on stage and introduced her as the "45th President of the United States." He went on to ask, "This November, the differences could not be more stark ... Are you going to vote for the guy who wants to build a wall or for someone who is building bridges? Are you going to vote for the guy who is channeling your fears, who is acting towards yours fears, or acting towards yours hopes?"

In the spirit of the hip-hop musical, Clinton urged the crowd of supporters to "not throw away our shot" during the 2016 election, a reference to one of the musical anthems heard throughout the show.

HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War, and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.

The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman and The Public Theater.

The Hamilton Original Broadway Cast Recording - recipient of the 2016 Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album and a regular on numerous Billboard top 10 lists - is available everywhere nationwide.

HAMILTON: The Revolution, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter's book about the making of the musical, is on sale and has been a selection on The New York Times Best Seller List.

The musical celebrates its 1st anniversary on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6. A touring production begins a 21-week run in San Francisco in March 2017, followed by a 21-week engagement in Los Angeles. A London production will be mounted, also in 2017.
