looks like there's another version of this on FB too , where people are posting responses longer than 140 characters

Between this and the fan recording session for the cast album, I am constantly amazed at how above and beyond Comet goes for Bway fans. I'm excited for all those who get the metaphorical "golden ticket" to perform on the Tonys

On a personal note, it is also so wonderful to read through the responses and see how Comet has changed people's lives.. it reminds me why I love this show

I didn't originally see you can just send a head shot in. I'm going to give this a shot, never having even been on a real stage before anyway performing this would be absolutely amazing.

Just sent in a headshot. Shoot, it's SUCH a long shot, but it would be so cool to be a part of that.

Oh my gosh! Just sent myself in and with my tiny right hand and braces, I hope I get in!!!

The love and appreciation this show has for its fans makes me love this show even more. I'm such a vanilla person (white, no tattoos/piercings/odd hair colors) that I will never get chosen, but obviously that won't stop me from submitting!

Anyone heard back?

I haven't. I'm not expecting to hear back for a few days at least, since the entry goes through 6/2. At least according to Twitter.

Is anyone sending a professional headshot or will just a clear photo like a headshot be fine?

I did a selfie.

 

By the way, do you guys think those chosen will be invited to the Great Comet's Tony After Party? I'm lusting after Rent the Runaway gowns for it!.

A casting agency is doing the selection of people, so this is going to be a hell lot harder than the cast album

Not yet! Someone on a Broadway Facebook page said they were supposedly taking entries til Friday.

Anybody heard back yet?  I have a friend who's already heard she was accepted.  I didn't enter, but I'm rooting for you guys.

Oh my goodness! When did she heard back?

Did your friend get an email message?

[disneybroadwayfan22]

Posted: 6/2/17 at 10:51am

Found an email on Instagram. Someone got in this morning. Every acception is coming today and no one can say anything until 6pm. And there's also a waitlist.

Yeah, it must've been an email, because she was 100% sure it was true.  It'll be really exciting to see how they actually use these "extras" in the performance.  (For reference, my friend is a music student but not a professional singer or dancer, so I'm not entirely sure that the "extras" will be performing, per se--I would expect that they might be seated onstage on a small-scale replica of the Imperial set, and used as crowd singers and egg-shakers or something, similar to the recording session for the OBC.  Of course, that would imply that the medley would use some part of the Abduction or Balaga, but who knows?)

have the waitlisted people been emailed/contacted yet?

[Broadway Joe]

Posted: 6/2/17 at 4:25pm

Damn, oh well lol It was worth a shot to enter. I'm not a musical or theatre student or professional so I wasn't expecting to win lol 

[disneybroadwayfan22]

No, seahag.

Sounds like everyone was contacted in the morning. Knew it would be a long shot, but I can't help but being a little sad about not getting picked. But, there's nothing I can do about it now

I'd imagine that it's a form letter that got sent out for both so if you haven't heard, as I haven't , I'd assume it's a no go...

Oh well!  Amazing that there was a chance at all, but I also will be interested in seeing what they use the "extras" for.

Huh. I was thinking and hoping at least one person from here would get in. Sorry, guys. But, congrats to everyone who got in :)

aimeric, was this the e-mail your friend got? According to the post, it's a Tony ticket e-mail

That person says that they are just a seat filler in the comments and not a comet performer.
