Hillary Clinton made a rare public appearance at the Broadway musical “The Color Purple” on Sunday — and received three standing ovations.
Photos from the scene showed people gawking at Clinton and snapping photos. In a video, people leaned over balconies to capture images.
Clinton’s appearance at the play was met with celebration, in contrast to the reaction Vice President-elect Mike Pence received when he went to see “Hamilton” in November, a week after he and President-elect Donald Trump won the election.
During Sunday’s show, many cheered and angled to get a glimpse of the former presidential candidate.

Audience member Jordan Serpone, who shook Clinton’s hand at the show, told the New York Times that seeing her was an emotional experience.
“I was having every emotion I’ve tried to get rid of over the past few weeks,” he said. “She shouldn’t be here. She should be planning her Cabinet.”
Public appearances by the former secretary of state have been rare since she lost the presidential race to Trump.
