NYMT 2020

[Biscuitsneeded]

Thought I'd start a thread now that the shows have been revealed. Who's got a DC or student applying? I have a feeling in my bones it won't be my DS's year this time - he's nearly 15, voice not broken but not reliable either, and apart from the one show we don't know I can't see anything he could obviously do! But he'll give it best shot and if no luck we'll still watch the shows. Good luck to all!

I did see a man dancing around at some point, but I just assumed it was someone who was somehow involved!!

We've gone without a holiday in the past to make NYMT happen for DS - it was worth every penny and more.
I'm sure we're all finding the waiting painful. I think it's more than just nervous tension, worrying about how they will react if it's not happy news etc. I kind of want to know what Easter and summer might look like! It's only just over 5 weeks until the residentials!

Yes manicmumsday, as much as possible. The emails tend to start early evening, and may go on into the small hours!

@biscuitsneeded - until the small hours?! Urgh, that sounds painful!

Keep an eye on twitter and/or this thread and you'll see if people start to hear and it's worth staying up!!

My daughter ended up not going to the call back. She has GCSEs this year, and decided that she can't cope with the thought of a busy Easter. We will try again next year.

Good luck to everyone else!

So today’s the day? I need to just throw myself into work and step away from my phone I think or I’ll be checking every minute!

Good luck to everyone!

@Oakmaiden
This is a concern for me too.
If he gets in I’ll have to stand over him for the whole of the 2nd week to ensure he revises!

Already on obsessive refresh and a complete bag of nerves over here.... can't see today being very productive!

If prior years are anything to go by (having looked at similar Mumsnet threads from those years), results don’t start coming out until late pm at the earliest. So if today is the day, I’m trying not to check email obsessively until then. May not succeed though. And I think wine will be required this evening if the wait turns out to be a long one...

Do they do it alphabetically?
If so I’ll not even bother looking today!

Emails are starting guys. Sadly a no for DD for Imaginary. Gutted, but that's the way of it! Still waiting on outcome of her musician audition but not hopeful there.

Fingers crossed for BYMT!

Oh no. That’s a shame.
Fingers crossed for the musician though.

Did they email her directly?

No need here. I have stuff to do and have achieved none of it 😬
I’m not sure why I’m so nervous. I’m not the one who’s auditioned!

That was supposed to say ‘no news here’

They emailed me, she's only 12. Our surname is A, not sure if that makes a difference!

I’ve literally just received an email too. Sadly it’s also a no for my DS for Imaginary. l’m not looking forward to telling him but he had a fantastic time at both workshops so it was a really worthwhile experience for him anyway.

A massive good luck to everyone still waiting for news. Hope you’re not waiting much longer.

I just found this thread!! So interesting to hear experiences, and useful info Biscuitsneeded😊
Good luck the emails are coming now...
Dd's 3rd year of trying, 1st year recalled, we couldnt attend as were in holiday abroad, last year recalled for Growl, but it was a no, and this year although recalled for Imaginary, we realised we are on holiday for one of the Saturdays!!
But, just found out she has got into the new musical workshop so delighted 😀

Sorry to hear that manicmumsday. I’ve still not heard and I’m kind of glad as DS has a competition semi final tonight and I didn’t want him to be disappointed before that.

Congrats to your DD Belshels!

Sounds like the good news is starting to come through! Well done mini @Belshels and heartening to hear of success after a previous no. Fingers crossed for lots of good news for those still waiting xx

Sorry to hear @folkmamma and @manicmumsday, worth trying again for sure especially as even the auditions is such a useful experience. Do try for BYMT (they have announced 1 more audition end March), as dd did Paperboy last year and it was an incredible experience. She matured so much in every way. x

She's done an audition for BYMT so we are keeping all crossed from that now 🤞🏻

Ooh yes, fingers and toes crossed for you. We did too🤞🤞

Thanks @Belshels. I’m not sure I can face DS doing a BYMT audition this year as he’s only 11 and he’s got very little drama and singing experience and zero dancing experience. So it was a long shot applying to NYMT in the first place.

I think instead I’ll suggest that he does either a BYMT or NYMT Easter or summer course this year to get some more experience. Then he can decide whether to go through the rollercoaster ride again next year.

Lovely to hear that your DD has been successful this year after prior disappointments. I hope she has fun at the new musical workshop.

So sorry to read about the nos (but a recall is a huge achievement, and so often at this stage it's just about fitting a role). I hope the kids will bounce back. Congratulations to your DD Belshels - that's lovely news for her and I hope she has a great time. The workshop director this year is fabulous and a lovely person too - the kids will have a lot of fun.
No news here. I keep looking in my junk to check I haven't missed something.

@manicmumsday Aw bless him, he's done so well regardless, and actually BYMT is only 1 audition so less of a rollercoaster! Great idea to do a summer workshop😊.
Thank you @biscuitsneeded and good luck with the wait!

Sorry to all those receiving no's, recallls are a huge achievement and all auditions add to the wealth of experience.
We are still in the waiting BYMT have confirmed that despite the additional auditions they will still send emails w/c 9th March. There is then an awful wait to 6/5 for NYT.
