We already know that the current U.S. President loves Lin-Manual Miranda's HAMILTON, having seen the show twice on Broadway after the First Lady took in an Off-Broadway performance.
Apparently, HAMILTON fever has spread to one of 2016's presidential hopefuls. This afternoon Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who also attended a performance during the musical's Public Theater run, participated in a roundtable discussion on the economy as a part of Dartmouth College's Center for Global Business and Government Speaker Series.
In commenting on last night's Republican debate, the former Secretary of State lifted a quote from the Richard Rodgers stage to make a point.
No doubt, she wants to be in the room where it happens.
And if anything's clear from last night's #GOPdebate: "They don't have a plan-they just hate mine." @Lin_Manuel https://t.co/VMicarTaO3

From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: Alexander Hamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winnerLin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is.
From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelongHamiltonfriend and foe,Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
