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?

Thanks @doesanybodyhaveamap
You are the start of the group! We all wanted to do that but weren’t brave enough!

@doesanybodyhaveamap

Ok reply pretty much confirms what we know. Workshops continue this month, show specific recalls in April.

Musician auditions - they've received more than ever. Currently being assessed then will be provisionally sorted according to each show. No further info re what happens then.

Keen to get results out quickly but also want to get it right...

Thank you so much for emailing them. Some more waiting for us then. Fingers crossed for everyone x

@Newgirls I don't know. They originally said something about potential workshops for musicians but The reply didn't say anything about this.

Thanks doesany

So what happens with the musicians? They sort them for shows and then do an audition?

Comefromaway · 15/03/2021 13:37

Receiving more applications than ever for musicians doesn’t bode well.

Biscuitsneeded · 15/03/2021 13:36

Oh well done @doesanybodyhaveamap.

minimits · 15/03/2021 13:14

Thanks for asking them @doesanybodyhaveamap - it's so helpful to have an idea of when we might hear one way or the other and at least we are on the home straight in terms of the waiting period now...

Good luck to everyone still hoping to hear about the workshops, hope you hear soon!

minimits · 15/03/2021 13:09

So assume if they auditioned a month ago they still won’t hear until April if they have a show specific recall?

@doesanybodyhaveamap you are a star!

Comefromaway · 15/03/2021 12:14

I'm sure they would prefer one person to ask on our behalf rather than be inundated with emails from us all!

Ok I've taken one for the team and sent an email asking about timelines for stage performers and musicians. Tried to sound as not-desperate as possible (probably failed...). Will keep you posted!

I just saw the tweet too. That’s reassuring. They must be cursing all the late-comers! I hope DS will be in this week’s decision emails. Not sure I can cope with the anticipation 😆
Let’s hope we all hear this afternoon

Comefromaway · 15/03/2021 11:36

@Yr10mom

i wonder if that puts musicians into late april/early may? and whether there will be on line workshops first which presumably will push decisions to late may. i really feel for them but dear they may lose some musicians as other opps start to firm up or just because poplar want some certainty - to wait so long and then get a no would be tough (dc submitted in january)
Yes, for us as a family it would mean putting a hold on the various dates involved (and we want to get booking theatre tickets as we are getting withdrawal symptoms).
