NYMT / BYMT 2021

Starting a new thread for NYMT / BYMT hopefuls in 2021.

DD13 is auditioning for NYMT for the second time as stage performer and as musician. We just received an invite to the next round (online workshops).

She was gutted that Covid put a stop to her show (Imaginary) last year so we are keeping everything crossed that she gets another shot.

We've also booked a BYMT audition and she's already in the musician pool there so hopefully a show of some sort this year if we get some kind of normality back again...

Anyone else out there?

was that for bymt or nymt? We haven't heard anything yet from bymt. Don't know if that is good or bad

Sorry to hear @doesanybodyhaveamap & @Alakazam8.

Pianoprincess · 06/04/2021 19:32

Still waiting here !

Sorry to hear this @Alakazam8

I think it really would have been kinder to do all the no’s together.

My son was on the first audition day and still nothing but I expect it will now be a no.

Is anyone else still waiting?

Comefromaway · 06/04/2021 18:48

Alakazam8 · 06/04/2021 18:38

No for me too- why not last week?

Yr10mom · 06/04/2021 18:01

so sorry esp with such a late email!

Comefromaway · 06/04/2021 17:54

I'm so sorry, I was really hopeful for you. I do think that BYMT seem to have handled things better from what I can see.

DalekFan · 06/04/2021 17:54

Oh no, so sorry @doesanybodyhaveamap, that is gutting. Fingers crossed for good news from BYMT 🤞

Mcmumager · 06/04/2021 17:49

@doesanybodyhaveamap

Well we have waited all this time for a no. I can't bring myself to tell her.

No explanation as to why we didn't get the no email when everyone else did.

To say I'm unimpressed is an understatement.

So sorry that’s really difficult. I’ve got a feeling we might be in the same boat. Not wanting to get an email now!

Thank you @doesanybodyhaveamap

chaperonemum · 06/04/2021 17:47

@doesanybodyhaveamap I'm so sorry that it was a no at this stage. Your poor DD x

minimits · 06/04/2021 17:47

Oh @doesanybodyhaveamap my heart goes out to you and your DS!

Anyone heard from BYMT yet?

Jamsanmum · 06/04/2021 15:55

Yes - if they leave it any longer they’ll have to make the costumes then choose a cast to fit them!!!
I just noticed that the lead in Henrietta is playing age of 9.... yet again height will be a huge determiner at this stage!

@wonderfullife123 I believe BYMT have started sending out offers but still have a way to go....

wonderfullife123 · 06/04/2021 15:38

Haven't heard anything from BYMT yet- DD was one of the later sessions. Does anyone know if all offers have gone out yet?

Alakazam8 · 06/04/2021 15:22

Still nothing!

aplo · 06/04/2021 15:08

We have had a mixed bag of results here. My DD heard on Friday that she didn’t get a recall as did one of my students. My older DS has a recall for hunchback and my younger for Henrietta and I have various students recalled for one or two of all three shows.

Pinkstargazer12 · 06/04/2021 15:07

My DD was trying to swap her recall time to fit around work so we defo know there are 3 recalls each day (Saturday and Sunday). I wonder how many in each?

Biscuitsneeded · 06/04/2021 15:02

@Jamsanmum there will be recalls for all the shows throughout the weekend. It's different creatives for each show so they can happen simultaneously. I also thought it would be difficult for them to tell things like relative heights etc, so possibly you are right and they will select a company for each show and then maybe have a face-to-face as soon as allowed, to properly finalise the roles. Then again maybe they are determined to avoid any more uncertainty - I know from a wardrobe point of view they will be needing to know sooner rather than later!
