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 🥳🥳🥳

Are we still on biscuits or is it acceptable to start on the wine now ???

Ok Chris, you're done - just press send now.

I mean, it's that easy, right...? 😉

Seriously, well done Team NYMT on the massive jigsaw puzzle, and now...

...we continue to wait!

Oh I know the admin of dropping all the names in to a mailing list double checking and getting it all actually delivered accurately takes time, but knowing it is sooooo close but not knowing

Wow 600 recalled! Numbers are immense. Well, all a bit tantalising knowing it’s all there. Surely tomorrow….
good luck to all kids in whatever opportunity comes their way. 🤗

Did I win the 200 a day sweepstake?

Honestly seeing these numbers my expectations are low for DD this year. Hope the wait isn't too much longer!

The exact numbers ... NYMT tell us you stalked this thread without telling us you stalked this thread 😂

Is there are chance could be out tonight? To post that to socials means they know that people will see it and be waiting...

Fingers firmly crossed it is SOON now! Break a leg to all your talented and brave DC, and remember if it's not what they hoped for this time, that there have been so many young people, even in the relatively short history of this annual thread, who have been disappointed one year and ecstatic the next. They are all clearly very talented and should feel really proud of how far they have come. I know I couldn't have done anything like this at their age - still couldn't now!

HanD31 · 25/02/2026 19:35

Oh gosh will it be tomorrow 🤔 surely not now?

Ooh sleuthing, I like it! 😁 Dd got a NMW last year and that arrived mid afternoon - I remember because I remember excactly what I was doing at work 🤣

nogoingbacktothefuture · 25/02/2026 18:47

Looking at last year's thread, the skills workshops went out first, closely followed by NMW and then the productions

seventwelve25 · 25/02/2026 18:33

There won't be any 'no' emails as everybody is offered something, be that a skills workshop, NMW or show. I think someone mentioned earlier that emails go out in projects, but I reckon the timing of those is relatively close together, that is, all in one afternoon, if that makes sense xx

CakeAndABath · 25/02/2026 18:15

Do the yes emails go out before or after the no emails?

SharonBotts · 25/02/2026 15:11

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if they offer parts to leads first before offering to smaller roles and ensemble? For example, do they wait until their first choice for, say, Maria in WSS has accepted the part before offering their second choice Maria a different role or ensemble part etc.?

No, all offers go out together. It's unusual for people to turn down NYMT show offers, and even more so if they were to get a lead. If it were to happen then they would recast the role (probably from within their cast) and someone else (most likely from a NMW) would be invited to join the cast.

Mumster40 · 25/02/2026 15:23

@SharonBottsI think all the offers go out at the same time. Well, they are emailed show by show, usually starting with the NMW offers. Last year my DC was offered a NMW which we accepted and paid for. And two weeks later they received a new offer of being in one of the shows. So my DC was probably second choice for that role. They were obviously delighted and started rehearsal with the rest of the cast in April!

Last year my DC was offered BYMT before NYMT. I think she turned down the initial BYMT offer but was subsequently offered two more shows very late in time as well.

betswina · 25/02/2026 12:53

Having the same dilemma, as my DD has been offered a production with BYMT, and was recalled for NMW with NYMT, having done a skills course last year, and is really keen to do a NMW if offered. I might well be wrong, but I think NYMT will be well aware that lots of DC audition for both and that the BYMT deadline for acceptance is Friday, so will want to get their offers out before end of play on Friday. Good luck to all with the outcomes and decisions :)

Yes good point, NYMT will know that Friday is the day BYMT offers have to be accepted. I suspect the NYMT emails will be out this week - maybe as late as Friday daytime if they are still wrangling clashes etc- but they are likely to make sure people have news before the end of the day. If your DC is in the system for both, maybe have the conversation in advance about their prioroties so you can act quickly if news comes during Friday!

HanD31 · 25/02/2026 12:55

Mcmumager · 25/02/2026 11:33

It did come Wednesday in 24 and it came Friday last year after Tuesday auditions so it could be today. Seems to be more towards the end of the day but could all change this year- who knows. My dc just asked to let them know if any news on the ‘mums group’ 🤣

Mine has just asked the same thing!

Thank you, yes I have been sat here pondering for days about what to do and then came across this thread. She auditioned for NYMT last year and had two recalls and ended up with skills residential which she attended. She has said if she gets into NYMT show or NMW that would 100% be her preference. Obviously there is a big chance she won’t get in to one, so we don’t want to decline BYMT as she got into one of the shows she was really hoping for. I’ll do what you suggest and if not heard by Thursday afternoon maybe email BYMT and see if we can come back to them once we have heard. Thank you.
