Dozens of Hollywood and Broadway stars performed and urged Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton at a fundraising concert where tickets went for up to $10,000-a-head.
The 'Broadway for Hillary' concert was held at the St James Theatre in New York City and hosted by Billy Crystal on Monday night, with proceeds going to the Hillary Victory Fund.
Ticket options ranged from $45 for balcony seats to a staggering $100,000 for ten premium orchestra seats as well as two tickets to the wrap party.
But those at home were able enjoy the spectacle free of charge as it was streamed live on Clinton’s Facebook and YouTube page.
While Clinton did not attend, her daughter Chelsea and husband Bill were there to watch the theatrics.
And the string of stage and screen stars who spoke or sang in support of Clinton included Julia Roberts, Helen Mirren, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Emily Blunt, Sienna Miller and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Bill and Chelse both delivered speeches to thank everyone who helped put on the show, which was produced by Jordan Roth, Richie Jackson, Stephen Schwartz and Harvey Weinstein.
The former president spent several minutes delivering remarks praising his wife, telling Americans 'she will make you proud.'
'It is not true that our best days are behind us,' he said. 'You can be forever young and that's what she would like to lead us towards.'
And the Democratic nominee herself made a video appearance in which she joked that she auditioned for the show, but 'didn't make the cut.'

Chelsea and Bill arrived at the front entrance. Here’s what they were greeted with…
Hillary wasn’t even there!
From the story:
'Hello everyone and welcome to Broadway!' Clinton said in a videotaped address. 'I wish I could be there with you in person. I auditioned for tonight’s show and I wanted to sing with you, but Harvey and Jordan said I didn’t make the cut. Oh well. 'In all seriousness, thanks to all of tonight’s talented performers. History tells us what we did but the arts tell us who we are and where we’re going and what we’re striving for and who we will be. 'Nothing achieves this with more immediacy and truth than living theater. So tonight is a chance to enjoy some of today’s finest actors and artists coming together live, joining art and politics, celebrating our shared vision for an economy that works for everyone and an America, where yes, we are stonger together.' She added: 'We’re in the final stretch of this campaign and we need your help to reach as many people as possible between now and election day.
Brainless glitterati still hoping against hope for the Socialist Utopia promised by Karl Marx.
Well done, deplorables!
I really think that doctor’s theory that Hillary takes a medicine holiday before her debates makes sense. Otherwise, how hard would it have been to make a cameo appearance for this?
Helen Mirren (UK) and Hugh Jackman (Australia) get your butts out of our politics; not your business.
‘Hollywood A-Listers Support Nuclear War with Russia’. Idiots...they are at ‘Ground Zero’.
What a farce....she wasn’t even there.
I seem to remember the Soetoros’ going to a show called “Urinetown.”
‘You can be forever young and that’s what she would like to lead us towards.’
Ah, the promise of the 60’s flying unicorn followers.
A bunch of malevolent children.
My thoughts exactly. Apparently these “A” listers don’t have time to read or grasp what the average person must endure as a result of their ill thought actions (endorsing a criminal and possible traitor at this time). Their fantasy world has become a permanent state of mind.
BOYCOTT Broadway and Hollywood!!!!! It’s all designed for “gays”anyway!!!!
With YouTube, etc., anyone can find appropriate entertainment (and education) without Broadway and Hollywood!
And CANCEL Halloween this year at your house. The necromancer WITCH Hillary will fly on her broomstick this year, to the delight of all her pervert friends and donors!!!! PHOOEY!!!!
There wasn't a dry eye in the joint...
Meanwhile that Trump sexual assaulter is out among the peons glad handing among the rednecks and lower class Deplorables. What a loser he is. /sc
She's in cryo-storage until the next debate.
A bunch of entertainers I will strike from my list. I also think they way overestimate their importance and influence.
Is that an actual screen shot? She looks like hell.
Even in that picture, from the video she made for the occasion, her left eye is turned inward.
She must be really sick to have missed her big night!
