So with the big reveal of the 50th anniversary programme it feels like a good time to start the 2026 chat! Here we go again 🥳🥳🥳

Working link to the skills workshop now sent - it would be interesting to know whether they do offer different courses to different young people depending on their current skills, or whether everyone gets the same offer? I don't think it's necessarily worse if it's all the same, since different DC can still get lots out of a course even with people who are more or less skilled at the different aspects of musical theatre than them.

Here's what DD has been offered.

Edited

These are the same options my DD was offered and she did not get a recall this year (she did a NMW last year)

Sorry to hear the news that some of your young people have not been offered what they would have liked. But I hope they realise that even just to get a recall is a massive acheivement in itself.

I seem to remember that there was a similar issue with broken links last year, but they got it resolved very quickly. Maybe we need to send biscuits (good ones!) in their direction - The admin on all of this must be a nightmare

EweCee · 27/02/2026 09:21

Our booking link for Skills workshop doesn't work either and I emailed to tell them and they just resent the same email with broken link again! 🤔

It looks like they are sending the skills workshop offers out first! The booking link also doesn't work for me so I've emailed them, although I'm not sure if it's worth DD doing a second skills workshop (sounds like they're going to get a lot of emails, I feel for the people administrating all this!).

It also says it's a personal booking link, so it sounds like links shouldn't be shared?

Edited

@Wigeon a tricky decision when you’ve done a skills course before. However I believe that they place them in groups according to the stage they’re at, so it may well be that the experience would be different this time around.
plus different creatives, different kids… there’s always something to learn! If your DC enjoyed the experience last year and wants to do it, I’d say it’s still likely to be worthwhile.

There are different options for different kids so I wouldn’t share as your kid might end up in the wrong group…

Morning, my Dd also just got offered skills workshop having auditioned for NMW.
annoyingly the link they sent for booking the skills workshop isn’t working. Does everyone else who was offered skill workshop have the same issue? If not could anyone share the link?
Thank you! 🙏

EweCee · 27/02/2026 08:50

Not our year (callback for NMW) - got offered Skills workshop this year which we'll turn down. Thankfully have the BYMT production already confirmed as she'd be disappointed otherwise having done NMW last year!

Good luck to those still waiting!

MxPickles · 27/02/2026 08:47

As my gut told me all along this year is not going to be our year. Good Luck to everyone stil waiting x

Wigeon · 27/02/2026 08:28

Email arrived...DD (auditioned for the NMWs) got a skills workshop. Oh well. Not sure if it's worth doing another skills course when she did one last year, given the expense. Anyone done more than one skills workshop?!

Good luck to everyone else - hopefully you'll all be hearing very soon.

Yes that’s true! And featuring NYMT stars too - the lad who played Tyrone Jackson in Fame (known as Z to my DS) is in it!

And to join in, is it ‘Our Time’ yet??

OMG I knew he looked familiar!!!

Wonder just how many apt and topical musical songs or lyrics we can make reference to while wait?

I personally think Tony has it wrong (Tonight) and it is in fact One More Day.

Well not ‘I know it’s today’ maybe ‘wait a bit’ 🤔😂
