For one lucky Hillary Clinton fan from Miami, theres nothing like summer in the city New York City, that is, with a pair of impossible-to-score tickets to the Broadway musical Hamilton.
Barbara Garcia won the Clinton campaigns raffle to watch the Tony Award-winning show as the presumptive Democratic presidential candidates guest Tuesday.
Garcia was having dinner at Outback Steakhouse on West Flagler Street and 82nd Avenue Sunday when the campaign called her to tell her shed won. Shes the raffles only winner and a Cuban-American woman from the nations largest swing state, no less.
I think I kind of screamed, said Garcia, an anatomy and physiology professor at Dorals West Coast Nursing University. Im a huge supporter of Hillary, and Im blown away.
She only entered the online raffle for two tickets, airfare and hotel after a friend entered first and told her about it. That friend will be Garcias guest at the show.
I know that shes going to be there, and so I really hope I get the opportunity to meet her, Garcia said. I would say to her, Ive been with you for a long time. I was a huge supporter in 2008. I was a little disappointed that she didnt win in 2008, but I always said, Were going to get it done in 2016.
What comes next?
I have never been to a Broadway show only the ones that come to Miami, to the Arsht Center, but never to an actual Broadway show, she added. I cant wait...........
