On Wednesday April 3, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Lin-Manuel Miranda hosted a fundraiser at new Broadway musical Suffs to support President Biden’s campaign. Clinton is a producer of the musical along with Malala Yousafzai, Jill Furman and Rachel Sussman.

Secretary Clinton and Lin-Manuel Miranda made pre-show remarks to the sold-out crowd, highlighting the importance of this musical today, especially in this crucial election year. Additionally, they praised book writer, composer, lyricist and star Shaina Taub as the future of American theatre. Former President Bill Clinton was also in attendance and met the cast for photos afterwards alongside Secretary Clinton.
