The neon lights could soon be bright for Joe Biden on Broadway as Hillary Clinton teams up with actor and songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda to raise money for the president in the city that never sleeps.
Clinton and the Hamilton musical creator will present a 'special Broadway performance' of 'Suffs: the musical' on April 3 to raise money for the Biden Victory Fund, the president's joint fundraising committee, and the Women's Leadership Forum.
Tickets to the Times Square performance cost between $500 and $5,000 a person, according to the event invite.
This is just the latest fundraising effort by the failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee for Biden, 81, has he seeks a second term in the White House.
Clinton previously held a fundraiser at her Georgetown home for the president last year. She also raised millions for then-candidate Biden in 2020.
Last year, it was announced Clinton would be adding Broadway producer to her extensive resume as part of the team backing 'Suffs,' a new musical about the women's suffrage movement. The musical begins showing previews on Broadway later this month and officially opens in April.

Former President Trump campaigning in Georgia on March 9. He could receive the necessary delegates to clinch the GOP presidential nomination on Tuesday
Former President Bill Clinton has also reportedly played an active role to help Biden's reelection behind the scenes.
After Democratic Senator Joe Manchin and former Republican Maryland Governor Larry Hogan both said they would not run for president on a third-party 'No Labels' ticket, New York Magazine reported Clinton was involved in urging them not to run.
Last June, Clinton appeared with Hogan at an event in Arkansas. Before they took the stage he gave Hogan a talking-to, according to the report. It also detailed how he spoke with Manchin two months later after Manchin sought advice on his political future.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has been actively promoting Biden on social media as he nears reaching the necessary delegate count to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination and will likely face a rematch with ex-President Donald Trump in November.
Biden has seen a surge in fundraising for his reelection bid in recent days.
His campaign announced it raised $10 million in the 24 hours after he delivered his State of the Union address last Thursday.
The campaign also broke its one-hour online fundraising record three hours in a row. It was the campaign's largest 24-hour cash haul to date.
On the Wednesday following Super Tuesday last week, the campaign also raised $1.5 million online alone, another top fundraising day since launching.
That same day, the Biden campaign finance chair Rufus Gifford was joined by former Vogue chief Anna Wintour for a Biden fundraiser in Paris in the midst of fashion week.
Overall, February was the Biden campaign's best grassroots fundraising month so far, the campaign noted.
The Biden campaign has touted the president's fundraising advantage as a sign of momentum despite him lagging behind his likely opponent Trump in recent polls.
But Biden has a clear fundraising advantage over Trump with eight months to go until the general election.
The latest federal filings showed Biden's campaign had nearly $56 million cash on hand heading into February compared to Trump's $30 million.
The former Republican president has also been finanically bogged down by mounting legal fees as he battles multiple indictments while seeking to return to the White House.
