NYMT/BYMT 2024!

Seeing as NYMT have announced their shows, it feels like a good time to start a thread for anyone with DC planning on auditioning for 2024 for either NYMT or BYMT - as performers or musicians, or as assistant creatives. Please come and say hi and tell us a bit about your DC. There are lots of experienced parents of DC who have been part of both organisations, and these threads are always genuinely supportive and helpful.
I'll invite some previous thread participants below - please come and say hi!

Mine are doing Cambridge for NYMT next weekend and London for BYMT at the end of the month. Can't believe it's that time of year again. Break a leg to all the DCs!

Is anyone doing this weekend? My ds is end of month in Leeds unless it clashes with any drama school auditions coming in. I’m thinking NYMT/BYMT stresses don’t seem that bad anymore 😂😂

London at the end of the month for DD for both. Best of luck to all the DCs.

It's 2024! Happy New Year everyone! I officially declare the waiting room open! Good luck to all the DC auditioning as stage performers and as band members - and to any going for creative mentorship posts.

DS is being mysterious about when he is auditioning for NYMT, but for those of you with younger/more forthcoming DC, shall we post on here what dates and venues they are going to (for both NYMT and BYMT) so we can wish them luck and report back?

Don't think anything has been announced yet regarding creatives. Hopefully soon!

Is there any news on directors, choreographers etc? Just been to see the fab White Christmas and Alex Parker was the MD so got me thinking.

@MxPickles that's a pain about the clash. Can you do any of the other venues/dates for either?

That's a good point about the photos. I asked DS who doesn't think he's been asked for one anywhere online while booking his audition, but it would definitely be good for the DC to take a photo with them. Maybe there will be a communication as soon as New Year is out of the way.

Thanks @yodaforpresident I must remember to take them.

yodaforpresident · 28/12/2023 14:47

We brought photos along with us to the audition last year @wonderfullife123 and they attached it to DD's form.

wonderfullife123 · 28/12/2023 14:44

Oh no @MxPickles that's frustrating !

Quick question on NYMT - am I remembering correctly, don't they normally ask for a photo? I don't recall adding one for DDs to their application this time.

MxPickles · 28/12/2023 11:21

NYMT and BYMT are both in Manchester on 27th Jan! Pfffft

yodaforpresident · 24/12/2023 15:41

Thank you @Biscuitsneeded @allhailthebrain!

No video, I think.

I think it says no video necessary this year!

yodaforpresident · 23/12/2023 16:11

I may have missed this in my haste to get everything done for Christmas but do those auditioning need to submit a video of themselves singing for the NYMT audition
this year?

Operasingerkath · 17/12/2023 19:02

Absolutely loved it! So glad we had the opportunity to come down to watch. Such amazingly talented kids ❤️

It was amazing - we loved the song from merrily; I wish we had had the chance to see the show now.
