President Obama Heads Back to HAMILTON for Democratic Party Fundraiser Tonight

President Obama stopped by the Richard Rodgers Theatre to catch a preview performance of Broadway's hottest show earlier this year, and he's heading back to HAMILTON tonight, November 2, for a special performance to raise funds for the Democratic Party.

The DNC will pay for the cost of the show and sell tickets for up to $500-5000. Event organizer Margo Lion told The New York Times: "The founding of America seems to be an appropriate subject, and we're just thrilled that we could do this."
