Which would also explain the lack of people talking about it - if only a few emails went out because of an error, then there is still some hope! :P

So perhaps the rest of the batch will be sent out today?

All we know is that they're (supposeldy) selecting 80 people and that the emails weren't sent out in one large batch. So, fingers are still crossed!

I got an email last night around 7 saying I was shortlisted for the performance. It was just a form email requesting a copy of some forms of ID (background checks?) and that I write a paragraph about what performing at the Tony Awards would mean to me. Deadline for response is today 5 PM. According to the email "winners" will be contacted tomorrow during business hours or early Tuesday morning. Wish me luck!

Congrats!  I was really hoping that someone on here got in, if anything, just to get a 411 on the experience!

Now excuse me while I go turn on sad music to mourn my non-selection...*turns on Sonya Alone*

Yeah, sounds like it's over. Again, I do feel sad bc it was the only chance I have to perform on the Tonys, but eh  I tried. Nothing I can do now. Really hope you get in, Lyceum!

Being optimistic here: CDF and I are talking. I wonder if they already picked people, but those who were shortlisted is like the waiting list bc they only have room for few more people? The lack of posts is very weird if it's going to  be 80 people.

I go back and forth between thinking it's time to give up hope and being hopeful that maybe we're still in the middle of the selection process, and that there's still a chance. I sure am happy that you're all here so I don't go crazy. :)

Well, it's odd that I've we've only really seen a couple people post that they're for sure in. Me and my friend both got short listed, and without knowing about the couple that already got in I would have said making the short list means you have a pretty good chance. I'm not too sure now. I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Posted: 6/4/17 at 2:22pm

Well, they did send out emails telling people that they've been short listed. I got one. I don't think I'll end up getting it because I accidentally sent the wrong un edited draft of my email that had a couple spelling mistakes a phrasing issues, so oh well :/

I got an email about being shortlisted around 8:15 last night that asked me to send in the best phone number / email, the pictures I submitted, my ID, and a paragraph about what Comet means to me!

 

Here's to hoping some of us get in.

I also received an email last night around 8PM telling me that I was shortlisted. In my initial email I included a candid photo and a headshot and resume, and then in the email last night, re-sent in photos and my ID and then the paragraph that they asked for! I think disneybroadwayfan22 and I may have spoke on tumblr about it? But before that I hadn't heard of anyone else getting an email. I had a few friends who submitted as well but they didn't hear back.

I got the email last night around 8:30, that much to my surprise, I had made the shortlist. I was asked to resend the photographs I initially sent, provide contact info, copies of my ID, and the requisite paragraph. I sent in my info on a complete whim and didn't expect anything because I don't seem to really fit the description of what they wanted (I'm not super young, the "edgiest" thing about me is a higher then average number of ear piercings, and at a size 10, I'm huge by theater standards), but I guess what I initially wrote worked?

Congrats, you guys! Really surprised in a good way that so much of us got the shortlist.

Lape, what's your name on Tumblr?

Posted: 6/4/17 at 10:56pm

Hashtagalisonhendrix/Lapetiteactrice(sideblog) are my tumblrs. 

 

And yeah I'm happy to see that people have actually been hearing back from them. Curious to see tomorrow/Tuesday morning how many people are actually chosen for this! 

[whizzer_wins]

Posted: 6/5/17 at 10:41am

Has anyone heard anything yet? I'm very excited to see which of us end up getting in.

[RickOrTreat]

Posted: 6/5/17 at 11:33am

I was short listed too but haven't heard anything yet. I'm obsessively sitting by my phone!

[Jaredinsc]

Posted: 6/5/17 at 11:45am

Same here. Whenever I get an email my heart skips a little.

Posted: 6/5/17 at 11:51am

It's very early, so not for a little while. I'm pulling for you guys!

" Thank you! If we don't get in we can all just listen to sad broadway music together :)

I still haven't gotten an email or phone call, and no one else I know who was put on the shortlist was either. I hope some of us have been contacted or are contacted soon!

[RickOrTreat]

Posted: 6/5/17 at 5:32pm

I've been sitting by my phone all day. They said they'd contact during business hours today or early tomorrow...considering that it's 5:30 PM I'm hoping we will hear back early tomorrow! *fingers crossed*

[Jaredinsc]

Posted: 6/5/17 at 6:04pm

Well, looks like  nothing for me tonight. I'm guessing that the people they contacted might not be able to say anything yet hence why we haven't heard anything froom anyone.
