In a video shared to the show\u2019s social media accounts, she also spoke to the cast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just can\u2019t tell you how extraordinary this made me feel,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cIn and of itself, it\u2019s such an incredible production, but as we were just saying, given the time, and everything that\u2019s going on, you just want everybody in the world to see this and to feel it and to relate to it and to empathize with it and to cry at the end, like I did. So, maybe we can bring back some of that empathy and understanding that is just being squeezed away. And we can\u2019t let that happen. So, thank you all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick Raynor, an actor in the cast, posted a photo on his Instagram of Clinton meeting the performers and writing, \u201cwith tears in her eyes, she proclaimed how important and beautiful this message &amp; show truly is.
