Hillary and Bill Clinton stepped out together on Wednesday evening to enjoy Broadway's first a capella musical as their daughter Chelsea attended a gala nearby. 

The former secretary of state was met with loud cheers and gleeful chants as she and her husband took their seats in the audience for a performance of 'In Transit Broadway'. 

Their appearance Wednesday came hours after it was revealed that she's working on a collection of personal essays that will touch on the 2016 presidential campaign.

In a video shared to social media, one woman could be heard screaming out 'we love you Hillary' when the couple entered the Circle in the Square Theatre. 

Moments later the entire audience erupted in a thunderous applause and loud cheers for the Democratic presidential candidate.

As the former first lady got settled in her seat next to the former president, the crowd then started loudly chanting 'Hillary' while she smiled and waived back to the audience in appreciation of the support more than two months after she lost the 2016 presidential election.

The book, currently untitled, is scheduled for this fall and will be inspired by favorite quotations she has drawn upon. 

The former senator also will reissue her best-selling 'It Takes a Village' in an illustrated edition for young people. 

This spring, she is also set to return to her old stomping grounds at Wellesley College to give the commencement address.

When Hillary graduated from the university in 1969, most of the Ivy League schools still only admitted men. 

Could  have been her: Hillary Clinton is set to return to the speaking circuit, following her failed bid for president. She will be working with the same agency which earned her six-figure fees before (pictured above at one of the presidential debates)

Clinton will also give the 2017 commencement address for her alma mater, Wellesley, this spring. She's pictured on the left giving the address back in 1992, and on the right graduating in 1969

Wellesley College was part of the 'Seven Sisters' - the women's-only schools that were associated with the Ivy Leagues, and therefore one of the best in the country.

She will also resume her relationship with the Harry Walker Agency, the speakers bureau through which she made the paid talks that were criticized by Sen. Bernie Sanders and others during the election race.  

Although the fees for none of the items were disclosed, Hillary and her husband Bill made themselves multi-millionaires on the back of their previous speaking and writing contracts. 

Clinton has also has received near-record advances for her previous books. In 2003, Simon & Schuster paid her an $8million advance for her book Living History. 

On the speaking circuit, Clinton made about $200,000 to $225,000 per speech. 

Records show that she earned over $11million for the fifteen months ending in March 2015. 

She is also estimated to be worth $30milllion on her own, and $45 to $53million with her husband.
