The cast of Broadway’s award-winning musical Dear Even Hansen received a surprise visit from actual president former first lady and presidential candidate Hillary Rodham-Clinton last Wednesday morning.
Clinton caught the show and met Tony winner Ben Platt before he concluded his run this month. Platt was understandably stoked, and tweeted pictures of their meeting as well as her signature on his cast.

“Our real president Hillary Clinton graced us with her presence at Dear Evan Hansen tonight,” he tweeted. “And she signed my cast.”

“NOT SINCE THE BEYONCE® PHOTO HAVE I FELT SO SEEN” tweeted writer @TimFederle, referring to like two months ago when Platt met Beyoncé.

Which strong female role model will Platt tweet a picture with next? Only time will tell.
