Can you promote in r/musicals?
Reddit's largest community for discussing musical theater, its history, and how we can all participate in and nurture this artform. Join us to learn about shows you've never heard of (or have seen numerous times), get suggestions for auditions, or share your thoughts on shows near and dear to your heart.
The short answer
Engage genuinely by answering questions and providing value first; if you mention a product or service, keep it brief, relevant, and optional, and follow post flair and any audition-help format where applicable.
What works here
- participating in discussions about musicals
- providing audition advice using the linked audition-help format
- posting in weekly/regular threads (e.g., listening club)
What gets posts removed
- overt solicitation or repeated promotional posts
- posting copyrighted/bootleg material
- making self-promotional posts without clear community value or disclosure
