I just applied to be a Tony Award seat filler. Is anyone familiar with the process? Do they pick you at random? I was not sure since they did not really ask you much. Thanks!

My friend did it a few years back, but she knew someone. She also got to sit in the first row for the whole show, and Hugh brought her up on stage and they sang a little song together during a commercial break.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
Honestly, the best way to do it is to know someone. There is an application (that I don't believe is available until a little bit closer to the Tonys), but they overbook, so then often have to pare down the list a few days before. I did it last year with two friends and had a blast.
Can someone PLEASE help with telling me how to apply to become a seat filler! I've been trying to find out for two years now. I know the best way is to know someone, but I'd even pay someone to give me an email address. Thanks for any help! Sorry to sound so desperate.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
