Hillary Clinton reminds Tony Awards audience ‘how important it is to vote’ – Washington Examiner

Former secretary of state and ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attempted to remind the audience at the 77th Tony Awards that voting continues to be important.

Clinton took the stage at the Tony Awards on Sunday to introduce the company of Suffs the musical.

“I have stood on a lot of stages, but this is very special, and I know a little bit about how hard it is to make change,” Clinton said. “So I’m extremely proud of this original American musical by Shaina Taub.”

Suffs opens in 1913 and chronicles the suffragists leading a “relentless pursuit of the right to vote,” according to the musical’s website.

“Reaching across and against generational, racial, and class divides, these brilliant, flawed women entertain and inspire us with the story of their hard-won victory in an ongoing fight,” it said.

Clinton praised the suffragists for their long and valiant struggle.

“It’s almost impossible to think about what a challenge that was,” Clinton said. “Now it’s an election year, and we need to be reminded about how important it is to vote.”
