Has anyone received an acceptance yet? I didn't get a rejection email this weekend, and am ANXIOUSLY awaiting a response today... trying not to get my hopes up, but am glad I haven't heard yet, I guess.

CoCo - I'm in the same boat as you - I haven't received any e-mail yet. I'm not getting my hopes up and assuming I made it, but it's good to see someone else who hasn't gotten a response because I was worried my application might have been lost somewhere in cyberspace (and maybe they didn't consider it at all :P).

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Glad to hear that I'm not alone in this... I figure we're still good as long as no one else has heard a yes yet, right defscott?

keep me updated- I'll do the same... i've been checking my email obsessively for about 3 days... lol

Out of curiosity, how old are those of you who were accepted. I was thinking about doing it next and I will be 17. Thanks!

I'm 20, but there's no time that they ever ask for your age. They ask for your basic contact information, you get an email telling you whether you got in or not, and later they send you an info sheet you have to print out and bring with you. If you show up and look young enough to play Billy Elliot, that might give them pause, but as far as I know there's no official age limit.

CoCo2 and seymour krelborn: did you go through tvaudience.tv? I haven't received any email rejecting me or accepting me.

Congratulations!!
Have a blast.

OK to answer questions- I'm 24, but never had to give my age, so that probably had no effect.

i didn't go through tvaudiences.tv because I emailed the American Theatre Wing directly and they put me in contact with the general managers of the Tony Awards who put me in the database so I could apply and then got accepted. ** so excited!!

Anyone who has done this before who has suggestions??

So basically it is 100% random unless you know someone in charge of it who personally makes sure you get it?

I got accepted too! I called the production office directly and they gave me the email address to email. I work for a Broadway production company and included this information in my email to the producers. So I'm not sure if that made any difference. It may be completely random, though.

I'm in. Awesome.

For those who didn't get in- they start taking requests again in January-LOL

^ Yes, I know. I just really wanted to go this year.

[seymour krelborn]

Posted: 5/19/09 at 10:35pm

I'm 24. I e-mailed Wasser and Associates who are the producers of the Tony's.

I guess I was not accepted, since I didn't get any email at all.

I just filled out the application online, though. I didn't email any producers. Now I know what to do for next year.

I didn't get any kind of email either... I guess that tvaudiences site really has nothing to do with the selection.

Actually, Jersey Girl2, when I called them in February, they said nothing had been set up regarding the seat-filling process and to call back in April. I did, and they still did not have any info. So I contacted them a third time in April, and they finally gave me an e-mail.

Hey accepted seat fillers! I am so excited about this opportunity!! I would love to connect with some people who are doing this pre-show so we can really make a time of it. Private message me and we can exchange contact info if you're interested :)

Hey! I'm so excited! Just got my email about being a seat filler this year! Is anyone else here doing it?

[sgv123]

Posted: 5/15/10 at 5:38pm

I never get in

[littlepaperstars]

Posted: 5/15/10 at 7:46pm

I got my email too!! I'm so pumped! I have a question for anyone else who did it last year - I know you have to move quick, so I was thinking of wearing formal flats instead of heels...but I'm not all that familiar with black tie dress codes and the like. Would something like these be okay? http://bit.ly/b1pNSL

I know that's a dumb question that I will likely get some snark for, but I'm too excited to care.

I wasn't picked. :'(

>>>>I know that's a dumb question
Some people here think everything is a dumb question .

Those would be fine. No one will be looking at your shoes. :)

Have a good time- Congrats on being picked.
