Add the Tony Awards to the list.

In his first seven weeks as a New York Jet, Aaron Rodgers has been everywhere. The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback has attended a litany of marquee events hosted throughout the New York Metropolitan area.

Rodgers completed an impressive double play this past weekend after closing out OTAs with the Jets on Friday.

On Saturday night, the 18-year NFL veteran attended musical artist Ed Sheeran's sold out concert at MetLife Stadium.

Then, it was time for a red carpet cameo at the 76th annual Tony Awards on Sunday evening.

Rodgers and tight end C.J. Uzomah attended the primetime television event that celebrates excellence in theatre. On his Instagram story, the four-time NFL MVP shared a photo of himself standing next to Uzomah outside the United Palace in New York City.

Sitting in the third row, Rodgers and Uzomah had prime seats for the awards show, but that didn't sit well with actor Josh Gad. Mostly known for voicing the snowman character Olaf in Disney's "Frozen," Gad threw some shade at the Jets' star quarterback on Twitter.

"Aaron Rogers sitting in the third row of the Tony Awards is the equivalent of me sitting in the third row at the ESPYS," said Gad in a tweet.

Had Gad not rushed to judgement, he would have realized it wasn't about the photo opportunity for Rodgers and Uzomah. The two Jets are legitimately Broadway enthusiasts.

"We have nice talks about Broadway shows sometimes, which is nice, because I'm a big Broadway guy," said Uzomah after a May 23 practice. "He's a big Broadway guy, doing stuff in the City."

Less than one week after Uzomah's Broadway comments, the tight end was spotted with Rodgers and other teammates at a playing of the musical "Wicked." 

Cast member Jordan Litz later posted a photo of Rodgers outside the theatre via Instagram. Litz's message said, "Honored to have the legend @aaronrodgers12 and his boys in the audience."

With an action-packed spring in the books, Rodgers plans to head west for a short summer break before training camp opens.

"I’m going to get back to the West Coast and get with my workout folks out there," said Rodgers after the team's final OTAs practice on June 9. "I got a Lake Tahoe trip and that’s about it. So, other than that, I’ll just be working out there."
