BYMT results are coming out.

@Comefromaway

Just as things were going well my daughter’s class has been put into 10 days isolation. 2 weeks before their grad showcase was due to take place.
I am so sorry. I am really fearful for the upper sixth and foundation showcase at DD's college as they are in a surge area so everyone is having to have a PCR at the moment.
Mcmumager · 09/06/2021 15:39

Oh gosh sorry to hear that for your children and classmates @Comefromaway and @minimits. This blooming virus is still causing havoc Angry

minimits · 09/06/2021 15:27

Oh no! DS’s end of year show is also on hold due to cast having to isolate. Not good times…

All I can say is everyone waiting for BYMT results deserves a medal! Everything crossed for you all x

DalekFan · 09/06/2021 14:08

Hope those still waiting for BYMT results get them today 🤞🤞🙏

NYMT- saw on Twitter they are still looking for double bass and horn players for Henrietta.

BYMT- do you think tomorrow counts as “middle of next week at the latest” 😂😂

Biscuitsneeded · 07/06/2021 16:37

Yes, we watched it. Nice to see NYMT represented there several times over! I think something was a bit off with the sound at first but it definitely improved. Was lovely to watch them doing what they do best and to see those happy faces in the graduate choir!

Comefromaway · 06/06/2021 21:44

Did anyone watch The Shows Must Go On tonight?

Comefromaway · 06/06/2021 15:01

So, it seems that DD’s ambitions to go across to Germany to work on the massive number of MT shows across there needs to be shelved. She needs to look towards Norway, Iceland & Liechtenstein instead!

(For anyone that hasn’t seen it, it’s Oliver Dowden’s feted “trade deal”.

Comefromaway · 06/06/2021 10:58

How fantastic.

I’ll never forget Songs for a New World last year. After being starved of theatre the atmosphere was electric.

Ds and a friend from college are travelling down to London next weekend for a two show day of Jamie & Six.

OMG we had a double bill in the West End yesterday! Les Mis Staged Concert and The Show Must Go On. Was absolutely incredible to be back 'in the room where it happens' and I cried a lot... DD is on fire and cannot wait for the summer! Both shows had the musicians on stage so clearly visible. Was wonderful. Do watch the streamed TSMGO this week, it was joyous and uplifting and emotional and hilarious in equal measure. Our industry is THE BEST.

Peter Pan workshop in progress in my living room, frankly bloody amazing to hear DD sing legit again.
For those still waiting to hear on auditions Peter was filled last year and I think only a couple of people dropped out of the small cast. In previous years everyone on the reserve list has got a place even when they have added extra auditions ( this happened to DD in 2019 and 20).
Admin always appears a little chaotic, but care on shows and experience has been amazing.

Jojoscircus · 03/06/2021 10:18

I spoke to Frances at BYMT yesterday and she said she’s hoping to get the results out by the end of this week or middle of next week at the latest. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Mcmumager · 02/06/2021 18:29

@feelinhopeful gosh that’s tough trying to factor in flights etc especially at the moment.

feelinhopeful · 02/06/2021 13:01

I emailed last week and haven't heard back. We are based outside of the mainland UK so have to factor in booking flights.

Mcmumager · 02/06/2021 11:48

I’ve already emailed to ask for dates lol. Anyone else feel like joining in😂😂

feelinhopeful · 02/06/2021 11:39

@Mcmumager yes totally agree, keeping a reserve list then adding extra audition dates must be like a kick in the teeth. Fingers crossed the reserves all get offered something.

Biscuitsneeded · 02/06/2021 11:30

Just popped on to see if there was any more news. I really hope all of you waiting for BYMT news hear soon. Might be worth a phone call if they said by end of last week? It's not half-term for grown ups, so no reason for the office not to be running!

Mcmumager · 02/06/2021 10:22

I guess it’s even worse for those who auditioned earlier in the year and are on reserve.

Frances did say last week they were hoping to have results out last week but then nothing arrived. Not sure if we will hear anything this week with holidays.

feelinhopeful · 02/06/2021 10:00

@Jojoscircus my DD auditioned on 25 Apr and still waiting to hear too. They still have auditions until 20 Jun so I can't see them making decisions until they have seen everyone. Very frustrating as we need to make plans for the summer and everything is on hold.

Belshels · 30/05/2021 23:32

Hope you all hear soon, and good luck🤞🏼
Dates of my dd's show in Plymouth have shifted forward one week, as the theatre couldn't honour the original dates, but luckily there are no clashes so she can still do it!!

Jojoscircus · 30/05/2021 15:41

@Mcmumager my ds auditioned for BYMT on 9th May and is still waiting to hear. We also has a no email go missing for NYMT 😳. We really need to know as his school is chasing us to arrange dates for his gold DofE expedition- I really hope we hear soon!

DalekFan · 30/05/2021 11:43

@Mcmumager I sincerely hope not! 😬
