LateToCult 40,916 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 High school student Rachel Zegler has been cast as Maria in Spielberg’s adaptation of West Side Story. She’ll join Ansel Elgort, Josh Andres Rivera, Ariana DeBose, and David Alvarez. But who is Rachel Zegler? None other than the teenager who went viral for singing “Shallow.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curunir 7,510 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Don't know who she is, but she definitely is super talented. That being said, that video did make me cringe a little because it gave off a very show-offy vibe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she audition or was she asked based on a viral video...fame these days smh Also I looked her up on youtube and let's just say the 4 minute covers don't exactly live up to that 40 second 'shallow' clip...

I believe she actually auditioned. Steven Spielberg did a whole open casting call for this role. So she actually got the part for auditioning.
