The Tuesday matinee will add an additional performance to the week's original slate of eight shows. Despite the fundraiser being held in Clinton's honor, Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and co-stars Leslie Odom, Jr. and Phillipa Soo are not expected to perform as they will be leaving the show following their final performance on July 9.
Ticket prices for the musical have soared as the Broadway hit has gained massive popularity, with premium seats at a current high of $849.
Hamilton's matinee showing is presented by the Hillary Victory Fund, whose efforts are to raise money for the Democratic nominee's Hillary for America campaign.
