NYMT/BYMT 2024!

Never known it so quick! Ds is in the Our House ensemble. Hoping everyone else has had the news they were hoping for.

Results have arrived! Very impressed with the turnaround time. My DS has been offered Lightning Boy workshop. I think he’s pretty ok not to have got one of the main shows - we thought he might be too old for one and too young for the other for the recalls he had. So now we will probably have lots of questions about the workshops, never having done that before! Good to have another new experience.

Thanks guys - two more sets of drugs acquired, go me! 😆

@Operasingerkath yes fully sold out! Six show run begins Thursday night, eeeeek!

Sorry you’re under the weather @allhailthebrain , hope you feel better soon and now have more drugs to help. Hope your DC”s show goes well-I understand it’s sold out, so it will be a great experience!

That sounds great for your DS, @Comefromaway - exciting to be involved!

Feel better soon @allhailthebrain

Thanks guys. Don't worry I also have allll the drugs (well, of the chemist type variety anyway!) - going to the doctor later as my breathing isn't happy.

I've not left my room since Saturday night - the kid opens in a big show they've been rehearsing since September in 48 hours. I can't risk him getting this, it's horrible! In laws have also arrived and are vulnerable so it's like covid times here, I'm basically isolating!

Waiting room vibes for the GP to sort it all out please and not just "it's a virus" which is what I've been doing to date 😬

Hope you feel better soon.

Someone is currently at ds's music college workshopping a BYMT show with the students there (I think they did something similar at Chi with Armchair so I guess it's all part of the process)

Ds is really enjoying it so far and says the music is great.

Sorry guys, I've been in bed with flu and a stupidly high temp since Saturday - looks like I missed all the fun! Sad I therefore can't join in with with celeb spotting anecdotes - unless you count the slightly hallucinatory dreams 😂

Fortunately it was my husband playing taxi (damn you rail services for closing KX in HALF TERM!) and I'm told the kiddo thinks it went well - so now we wait.

I have plenty of biscuits here, but I'd keep a social distance if I were you 🤒

I'm just on edge and jumping from zero to catasrophe 😵 Its certainly a good sign for you though. The communication with BYMT is excellent so hopefully wont be too long a wait.

@MxPickles It could very well be that I didn’t upload a photo!!! I’m hopeless with tech….x

No email for us. Oh dear Good luck to everyone in the mix x

We had an email 1st week of March last year about BYMT summer project so fingers crossed it shouldn't be long.

Finally home! Long drive for us on the way back. DS had a good day yesterday and enjoyed both workshops. Fingers crossed for everyone! And now we wait…..

Heads up to BYMT folk to check your inbox. Request for headshots for casting purposes by 5pm today. I thought I’d already uploaded one…..!

Just dropped off my normally not nervous but suddenly extremely nervous DD! It’s all new to her and a big step up, coming all the way to london for an audition, so it’s good to hear that others have come out having had a blast. - she was blowing her nose furiously in the car so she wouldn’t sound too full of cold when she sings 🤣 - but not sure it will do that much good! - I’m sure they will understand though. - so many auditionees must have bugs at this time of year!

I think this is the last weekend of auditions for BYMT so hopefully we should have news by next weekend at least on the Easter Show.

@MxPickles I thought that too about the BYMT Easter show…. So I emailed on Friday and was told that they hadn’t finished casting the Easter show yet…. Which means they have at least cast SOME of it 😂 I imagine they would’ve cast previous BYMT members as the turn around is so tight. I was also told that outcomes would be end of February. Very helpful and prompt email. I’ve been quite impressed by them so far.
Good luck to everyone waiting on NYMT results this week. My DC will be waiting on NYMT new musical workshop results and BYMT…. It’s a hideous wait!

Hello all! DD went for her recall yesterday morning - did not see James Cordon - seemed to enjoy but had a headache - says it didn't affect her singing, so fingers crossed. I haven't got much to report except that I saw Clare Balding whilst I was whiling the time away wandering around Chiswick High Road. Did the embarrassing slightly too long look and faint smile as if she was someone I knew and my brain caught up afterwards.

Bought a Bundt tin. Have not as yet made one. Off to watch DD dancing in a dance competition this evening ..it never stops. Will be glad when all kids back to school tomorrow and I can have a break from driving everywhere!

Oh - DD said they said emails around Wednesday - fingers crossed for all!

Well done to everyone who recalled at NYMT this weekend - keeping everything crossed for good news for you.

Regarding BYMT did I hear that there had been some offers sent for Animal Farm/Easter Show? I am just thinking its cutting it super fine if offers aren't being sent until early March and the production is at Easter!

Well we are back home and DD loved every minute of it. So lovely seeing her smiling face come out of an audition. Didn't see any famous parents today, but lots of future stars I'm sure. She did seem to think it was split by alphabet, she seemed to think there wasn't anyone in her session with a surname beginning A to K..! I know last year it was a very long week waiting for results, let's hope I have enough wine and chocolate to see me through 😂.

Good luck everyone today! Does anyone know when we will hear the outcome from this weekend?
