NEW YORK, June 26 (UPI) -- A special performance of Hamilton has been added in July as a fundraiser for Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The wildly popular, history-themed, rap musical is the hottest ticket on Broadway, winning 11 Tony Awards this month.

Clinton supporters can see it -- and raise money for their candidate -- by attending a July 12 matinee performance presented by the Hillary Victory Fund.

Tickets for Hamilton: An American Musical with special guest Hillary Rodham Clinton range in price from $2,700 for a general seat to $100,000 for an event chair ticket, which includes two well-placed seats, entry to the performance's wrap party and invitations to the Democratic National Convention.

Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and his co-stars Leslie Odom, Jr. and Phillipa Soo are leaving the show July 9 and the fundraiser will feature their replacements, The Hollywood Reporter said.
