Hillary Clinton saw 'Dear Evan Hansen' last night, met the cast, and signed a cast

No word on if she cried.

The cast of Dear Evan Hansen got a surprise on Wednesday evening—as did the literal cast from the award-winning Broadway musical.

Hillary Clinton attended the show and got some face time with the show's Tony-winning star Ben Platt on Wednesday.

Platt tweeted photos of the meeting, calling her "Our real president" and showing off that she signed his character's infamous cast.

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

No word if the musical made Clinton cry like everyone else who has seen it, but she looked cheery as she waved hello to a few fans waiting by the doors after the show.

Platt also got some time with Beyoncé earlier this year, so it's safe to say it's been a great year for the actor.
