Break a leg to the Peter Pan DC! Have a fantastic time!

Newgirls · 05/08/2021 10:06

That was for LoneCat (not sure why it didn’t attach sorry!)

Sorry to hear Hunchback is having to take time out but sounds like a good solution and will be ok

Newgirls · 05/08/2021 10:04

That is wonderful to read ⭐️

@Mcmumager

Ooh can’t believe it’s showtime for Peter Pan!! I feel so nervous - just as well I’m not the performer!!

I’m not going until tomorrow night so if anyone is there tonight it would be great to know how it’s going! My comms have been limited as my sons phone completely broke first week. Heard all the excited chatter on the bus this morning when he called from a friends phone. They must be buzzing.

@Mcmumager we’re going tomorrow evening also. Can’t believe it’s show time already. Very exciting!

Hello. Been lurking but haven’t posted before. I have a child doing Billy the Kid - first time with NYMT. Does anyone have experience of how it works when they’re in Dulwich and have to get their own lunch and dinner. I know they say the pastoral staff will keep an eye on them that they make healthy choices but .... I made further enquiries and got a nice email back but I’m still not quite sure how this is going to be managed. I can see this being a bit of a stress for my kiddo. Would like to hear from others whose kids have done these courses before.

Thanks very much for responding @doesanybodyhaveamap. That’s good news that it can go ahead after all the prep & hard work. Fingers crossed! Looking forward to it!

@Musicschoolquestions not cancelled. They've all come home to test and isolate but the intention is very much that the show goes on and they resume in Manchester on Monday. This is a super-precaution to protect the production and everyone is being really upbeat.

Can anyone who has a DC in Hunchback update on what’s happening? We had tickets to see the performance as we live locally and one of my DCs would like to audition next year but have heard on the grapevine that it may be cancelled?

Lonecatwithkitten · 04/08/2021 18:24

Nearly had a little weep watching the cabaret videos DD looks so happy I haven't seen her like that since Feb 2020 when she was in Adams Family.

Her mental health has taken a real battering over the last 10 years for a variety of reasons and performing has always been her escape and to not have that for so long made things even worse. I could see my girl back again in the videos sparkly and loving every minute.
I know often people look at the cost of BYMT or NYMT and wonder is it worth it. If your DC is someone who lives to perform it is worth every penny. DD keeps being reminded at college that these are professional productions and should go on your CV when you start out.

Newgirls · 04/08/2021 16:49

Got it! All set here now.

Newgirls · 04/08/2021 09:02

Hi are you sent a kit list before they go? It’s getting quite soon for us and I wonder if they need jazz shoes etc?

Enough clothes for two weeks I guess?! Anything else I should think about?

Mcmumager · 03/08/2021 14:59

@Lonecatwithkitten I saw the videos yesterday looking good. No sign of my ds in photos or videos was starting to think he wasn’t there 😂😂.

Still loving it- think it was a band call today and castle tomorrow- getting so close. Got radio Devon on ha ha

Anyone seen the Hunchback Band Call photos on Facebook. Wondered if there might be some MN kids on there.

Newgirls · 02/08/2021 10:07

The app is super sensitive aghhh

Lovely to hear about grandad travelling - what a lovely experience all round

janinlondon · 01/08/2021 09:43

I know lots of them don't have the app on - during term time it was pinging people living in multi storey accommodation who had never even met each other and had entirely separate entrances to the building. A PCR has been ordered apparently for the boy on Henrietta. And thanks @Biscuitsneeded - let's hope it works out!

Biscuitsneeded · 01/08/2021 09:37

And @janinlondon so glad your DD has made her decision for RAM. She'll go far!

Biscuitsneeded · 01/08/2021 09:36

I wish they were allowed to tell them all to turn the app off. Poor kid. I hope they will be able to ascertain that this is a case of phones being too close rather than people, get a negative PCR and move on..

janinlondon · 01/08/2021 08:30

Someone has been pinged on Henrietta.....?

Mcmumager · 31/07/2021 15:51

Aww @Lonecatwithkitten that’s so lovely. My mum is flying down from Glasgow too to watch her grandson! We are having a wee impromptu Devon holiday.
