Congrats to all involved in Every Day. Absolutely stunning show with incredible vocals - thoroughly enjoyed it!
NYMT don't tend to stay too long in one venue these days. They may stay in Birmingham next year but they may also move elsewhere - or use a combination of venues.

My daughter was in Every Day. We are suffering hugely from withdrawal! What a show!!!

My DDs went to see Every Day and said it was great. They said they loved the ensemble work. Sounds like a very intriguing concept. Congratulations to all!

The National Theatre are holding rare open auditions for a classic musical that will be headlining their new season. I’m not 100% sure but I’d bet on this being West Side Story. They are looking for young triple threats. So if your young person was in NYMT’s WSS (or fit the brief) apply now! Over 18’s only.

They are especially interested in performers with Lati Americal/Puerto Rican heritage and in any males with Italian, Polish or Irish hereitage.

Do you think Irish great great grandparents count lol . I’m sure they will be absolutely inundated.

I watched the Disney/Alan Menken Prom on TV this evening (available on iplayer now). NYMT were a part of it, which I knew about, but I hadn't expected them to have such a prominent role in it all - especially the 8 who cam out and danced/sang/had lines intermittently throughout the show. They were all so professional - what a coup. I recommend watching as they are in several numbers.

My DD was in Every Day and then in the BBC Proms in the choir. They’re the first full productions she’s done with NYMT & we’re all blown away by the professionalism in every aspect.
Such an incredible experience & opportunity for everyone involved.

Just watched tonight absolutely loved it and great to spot all the familiar faces. Some had absolutely great opportunities to really shine and more than held their own. We were on holiday at the time so know there was a lot of fomo not just of performance but of all the lovely time spent with friends but we were all ready for a break. Ended up watching the west side story proms and bond one too which were both also great. Only been to royal Albert hall to see Robbie so think a trip to the proms next year is required!
