“It’s just a great place to talk about theater,” one teen told BuzzFeed News of the Instagram musical theater community, “because you don’t really get that in school, because a lot of people aren’t really into it.”
To try out for a fake cast, auditionees record a video of themselves singing a song from the show — but they almost never reveal their faces or actual names. While many members of the community want to be big-time stars one day, some are just battling standard teenage shyness and choosing to keep their identities private on their fake casting accounts for now.
“I just think it’s fun to see what people think of you, because it’s not like you’re judging someone — I mean, you are judging — but you can see how people think you sing,” said Aubrey Werner, 14, from Virginia. “I used to ask people to post [their auditions] on their Instagram account before I asked people to DM them. And really not a lot of people would do it, understandably, because they were just really scared to show people [that] they like something that not everyone does,” said Sophie.But for all the warmth and support for one another, this is still show business, baby. And the competition can be fierce.
