Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, attended a performance of Broadway‘s “Leopoldstadt” on Thursday in New York City. For their night out at the theater, the couple wore very contrasting ensembles.
Bill Clinton donned a dark brown suit with an olive polo shirt, accessorizing with an American flag lapel pin in honor of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. Hillary took a more colorful approach to fashion, opting for a red plaid check lightweight jacket with a funnel neck collar, pairing it with tailored black trousers.
“Leopoldstadt” officially closes on Broadway on Sunday after a limited run. The show won big at this year’s Tony Awards this month, taking home the Tony Award for Best Play. The play was written by Academy Award winner Tom Stoppard, whose career in theater and film goes back to the ’50s.
