Spelling Bee tour question: audience participation

I don't know how they pick the spellers, but I just wanted to say have a wonderful time!You are so lucky you get to see that AMAZING cast! Wish it was coming through my city!

Thanks for the info! So it seems like it doesn't matter where you sit, in order to be an audience speller?

bwaygirl2, do the actors follow the last audience speller back to their seat?

How full did the house look when the spelling bee was on tour? It's odd, because it's playing in a really big theater near me, and it's hard to imagine it in a big theater. I'm used to seeing it in more intimate settings.

Wait, so they don't on the tour but they do on broadway?

Thanks sidneybruhl! awesome. I'm not quite sure how it would work with the staging and all, but it helps a lot.

So I can't remember how it works on Broadway, but when the OBC reprised their roles in LA, the actors followed the last audience speller back to their seat. It was funny because in my performance, the audience member got lost and ended up walking out of the auditorium. Jesse Tyler Ferguson paused for a bit, who was following closest behind him, and then walked right on out of the auditorium with them. The actors collapsed into laughter as soon as they left though.

In Denver, if your name was picked you stood at the rear of the theater until you were called up from what I understand. Not everyone was seated in the orchestra section.
