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!

No worries @Biscuitsneeded - they are 16 and 15.. No news on BYMT shows yet, and I have the impression they announce them late based on my very limited experience. At any rate, they enjoy the fun of auditions so it's all good!

I will lurk as you never know, we may know something useful even if it only to encourage those are are unsuccessful one year (as ds was) to try again another.

@wonderfullife123 Somehow I didn't paste over your username from the old thread! Many apologies, and glad you made your way over. Loads of luck to your DDs. What ages are they? Have BYMT announced anything for next year yet?

Yay, @Biscuitsneeded thank you for starting the new thread! Your insights and knowledge are invaluable. Responding to your question on the previous thread, yes, they are planning to audition for both this year - they are at an awkward age but keen to keep giving it a go and excited about the choice of shows. Agree on the dance potential and larger cast for Our House, based on the one DD was in previously, the dancing was a real highlight. On the flip-side, I'm thinking Into the Woods likely to be a smaller cast as it doesn't have a traditional ensemble. It's such a great show , I'd never heard any of the music before DDs did it at school and it's really brilliant and quite challenging. Hopefully your DS' schedule will allow him to go for it again @Biscuitsneeded
