NYMT-2019

Oh Lordy! Funnily enough DS is also home-he has his ballet show Sunday and has been doing 3 hours a night-that and berocis exhaustion has pushed him to the edge so didn’t even attempt school today! Just need to know now!

I have known results come Weds night or Thursday night. Guess it depends if they are in complete agreement and are in a position to send. DS has melted down today. Managed to get sent home from school 'ill'. I diagnose a severe case of distraction, inability to concentrate at school and some nervous exhaustion!

I am thinking it will be tomorrow....?

Good luck to all the recalled DC waiting for news. Hopefully they'll hear very soon now...

Thank you Antaresisastar, I keep trying to say to myself I doesn't matter if she gets in or not!! In fact we haven't mentioned it in two days However, we just want our kids to be happy, don't we. Good luck to your daughter...as you say, we"ll know soon enough.

Hi Maria, good luck to your dd. I'm pleased that decisions will be made quickly, waiting is difficult. My dd is older so any news will go to her first.

Hello Mums, just thought I would join the chat as like you are waiting to hear news re the Recalls. My DD was recalled for Parade and the New Musical workshop (not really sure what that is all about?) She attended Saturday midday and came out happy and then said the standard was very high! She's 15 and said that there were a few "younger girl" parts but most of the parts are for older people. Last year she didn't get to recalls so this is new territory for us. Having to keep checking my emails!!!

DS has just told me they were told by the AG director and Jeremy that there were a record number of auditionees this year-1500! They recalled 100 for AG so whatever happens to all of our DS and DD's they should be incredibly proud of their recall! And proud if they didn't get one-very tough year! That's a lot of children!

Hee hee hee - the gossip mill often gets things wrong! I don't think NYMT would definitively cast anyone on Saturday given there was still a whole day of recalls to go. I have to keep reminding DS there have been 5 other recall sessions for each show besides his, as he's inclined to try and mentally cast just from the people he met in his session! Then again, he has also correctly predicted a few casting decisions based on what he's seen in recalls so perhaps the auditionees do pick up a scent! Jan, your DD is certainly very accomplished. I hope she gets an NYMT place this year, but if she doesn't I'm sure her other irons in the fire will materialise! I also think with AG they asked loads and loads of people to prepare for a certain part - it maybe wasn't a recall just for that part as such, but more to provide something suitable for them to read/perform. They could end up being cast, but in a different role. But I don't know this - pure speculation on my part.

You are always so positive and kind Biscuits!!! I am just aware that they were all recalled for the same part, so the chances are pretty slim... Still, we have other options still on the table and she has a show next term to get herself sorted for. I need to channel some of your positivity don't I! I really hope your DS does get a show he wants. Antares there was one girl on Saturday who was apparently very funny and was asked to stay behind. Everyone was postulating that she's been chosen for Erma. Oh the gossip mill is running hot!

Jan, she didn't mention being asked to stay behind, no.

Glad she enjoyed it. I guess they will want lots of great tappers but hopefully not everyone needs to be amazing if doing eg a character role? I know people who felt they were recalled for their tap but didn't shine at singing and vice versa so maybe there's room for both (as well as the utter stars who can do everything!!). Fingers crossed. DS enjoyed his day very much too, and feels he had the chance to show his best self, so that's good even if a show doesn't materialise for him this time.

She had a lovely day thanks Biscuits. As always, ran into people she hadn't seen since last season and had great fun. Pretty sure her tap is not currently up to the required standard, so doesnt expect to go further on that one. It's a nightmare moving her up and down the country every weekend for these auditions!

How did your DD get on Jan?

Antares was your DD the one who was asked to stay behind after the recall???!

Thank you Biscuits, I'd be very happy to chuck a rock at dd under those circumstances!

I don't have a problem with that Antares! It's for everyone up to the age of 23. Lots of older ones at NYMT are in full-time training and it's wonderful because the can pass on their experiences and tips to the younger ones coming up. NYMT has trained some of the most successful MT performers in the industry. In fact, stand on Shaftesbury Avenue (or outside Hamilton!), chuck a rock and you'll probably hit an NYMT alumnus!

Biscuits, she loved it. I have to declare that she is 21 and in full time training which I know won't be appreciated by everyone.
This is a precarious business, any chance you have needs to be taken.
Good luck to all waiting to hear.

Of course Antares! Hope your DD enjoyed her recall. Usually they hear within a few days. In our experience it's been either late Wednesday or during Thursday, but I think they had to video some auditions this time as not all creatives could be there, so I guess they might need a bit more time while they watch those and respond... I would think it's likely they would get back in touch by the weekend. The first residential starts in 6 weeks so they can't leave it too long!

May I join you? Dd had a recall for Anything Goes yesterday morning. It's her first time. Does anyone know how quickly they hear? Thank you.

I’m so pleased she enjoyed it Lonecat-she has a very good chance of getting in, she has certainly put the work in! And if she does do the summer course they get asked to come back for the Xmas concert in London along with all the cast from the shows so they are certainly made to feel just as valued which I think is lovely! Good luck! At least it’s not long to wait now...ish...Just left a very nervous DS at recalls so can’t wait for it all to be over!

Good luck lonecat-I’m sure your DS will enjoy the audition! And good luck to everyone else with auditions/recalls this weekend!

Good luck to your DD Lonecat. xx
