NYMT / BYMT 2021

Starting a new thread for NYMT / BYMT hopefuls in 2021.

DD13 is auditioning for NYMT for the second time as stage performer and as musician. We just received an invite to the next round (online workshops).

She was gutted that Covid put a stop to her show (Imaginary) last year so we are keeping everything crossed that she gets another shot.

We've also booked a BYMT audition and she's already in the musician pool there so hopefully a show of some sort this year if we get some kind of normality back again...

Anyone else out there?

@Operagirl1 My DD auditioned for BYMT on 20 Feb also. We had email last Friday, so has taken ages but I would get in touch with them.

Anyone else still singing ‘Good morning World’? It’s so catchy. Completely stuck in my head

for all the folk waiting on NYMT results - best of luck to you/your kids! I was in NYMT in 2019 and auditioned unsuccessfully in 2020 and just checked back on my emails to see how fast we received the results and both times I heard on the Wednesday after my recall on Sunday. Not sure if the turnaround will be as fast this year but I hope this helps you to navigate the hellish limbo haha

Yes! Especially after many takes - but my brain does sometimes get confused with the song from Shrek the Musical too and once it flips, it's very hard to flip it back...

OH keeps merging into ‘a world of pure imagination’!

Jamsanmum · 19/04/2021 19:52

@triflefan yesssss!!! Its Pure Imagination for me too! 🤣

allhailthebrain · 19/04/2021 20:08

I kept saying Pure Imagination when he was filming the self tape - it's those instrumental bits isn't it!

Is anyone else on the reserve list for BYMT this year?

@DramMum

Yes my dd is
DramMum · 19/04/2021 20:44

@Newgirls ah fingers crossed they get a show. Where in the age range is your DD? Mine is the youngest end.

Newgirls · 19/04/2021 20:47

15 so very tricky age!

DramMum · 19/04/2021 21:24

@newgirls Ah! Yes I think I did read that further up the thread!

Triflefan · 19/04/2021 21:42

@allhailthebrain and @Jamsanmum

Ha! I guess it’s not leaving our heads any time soon!
The Henrietta songs are lovely.

I'm hearing lots of people on reserve list. wondering if they are buying some time while they do the rest of the auditions??

There’s going to be so much movement at this rate. We are waiting to hear from 3 things so if most acting kids are similar it’s going to tricky to decide and then more places will be avail

agreed @Newgirls. My anxiety levels are drastically reduced now we have accepted the GM place as it's taken several other options off the table and we now only have two possible combos which will be determined by the NYMT musician outcome. So I am much less neurotic now, lol!!

Do we get a special prize if we go over 1000?Grin

DramMum · 20/04/2021 12:31

That’s a very good point. I did think it was strange to be placed on the reserve list when they are still running auditions! I assumed it was because my DD is so young.

DramMum · 20/04/2021 12:32

@doesanybodyhaveamap I should’ve tagged you then!!

janinlondon · 20/04/2021 16:05

@doesanybodyhaveamap and @Newgirls ...I hate to tell you this but the horrible choices and interminable waiting go on for Years and years and years yet. Mine is 21 and we are now facing the hardest choice ever. I don’t believe it ever actually stops..!

allhailthebrain · 20/04/2021 16:11

Waiting takes up more time in this game than any of the doing! At least you actually get an answer with this one, eventually... so many others where if you never hear back, it's a no... Annoying!

I need to find me some way of dealing with the waiting. I really can't cope... DD however, seems to be just fine at it!

Operagirl1 · 20/04/2021 16:29

Might we never hear back from BYMT?
