Hillary Clinton spoke to an audience of donors who had paid at least $2,700-per-person to see the hottest show on Broadway, “Hamilton,” but she did her best to prove that she is among the smash musical’s biggest fans.

“I have now seen it three times, first at the Public and twice here, and I cry every time,” Clinton said on Tuesday at the Richard Rodgers Theater following an afternoon performance.

The Hillary Victory Fund, a joint committee of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, held a contest in which those who entered could win tickets to the performance. A donation to the campaign was not required to enter, but tying a fundraiser to a special Broadway performance was the latest twist on the novel ways campaigns and parties have been raising money. The Hillary Victory Fund earlier this year held a contest to win tickets to a fundraiser at the Studio City home of George and Amal Clooney, and Donald Trump and the Republican party are staging contests for entrants to win a trip to the Republican convention next week.

“Hamilton” star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda departed the production last weekend, but he did return to the theater to introduce Clinton.

“Are you going to vote for the guy who is channeling your fears … or acting toward your hopes?” he said. “Are you going to vote for the guy who wants to build a wall, or someone who is building bridges?” Miranda did not mention Trump by name.

Clinton’s praise of “Hamilton” also could be taken as criticism of Trump, as she noted that the show “reminds us of how many millions of immigrants’ stories deserve to be told.” She said that the show reflected the country’s vitality as a nation of immigrants.

“That has to be our mission,” she said. “It cannot be detoured by those who play to the worst of our feelings, who would divide us, who would scapegoat us.”

Her closing remark referred to one of the show’s signature songs, “My Shot.”

“Let’s not throw away our shot,” she said. “Let’s do everything we can.”
