That's really tough for your poor dd Pink

Pinkstargazer12 · 26/04/2021 13:17

@Comefromaway I just can’t work it out. DD has been very relaxed about everything but now has become quite anxious 😟

Biscuitsneeded · 26/04/2021 13:42

@Pinkstargazer12 that's very odd. All I can think is that as it's not a massive organisation the two people who have been sending emails out this weekend may have a day off to recover - not realising that your poor DD has no news.
I hope you hear back very quickly now.

Pinkstargazer12 · 26/04/2021 13:45

Thanks @Biscuitsneeded
Yes, you are probably correct and they have had a very busy few days.

Operagirl1 · 26/04/2021 14:02

I do hope those that are still waiting get to hear really soon. The waiting is agony! Good luck to everyone

Mcmumager · 26/04/2021 14:09

Congratulations to all dc on the good news. I hope those who missed out this year aren’t too disappointed.

Even though ds didn’t make it this year I was still feeling all your stress over the past few days!

DalekFan · 26/04/2021 19:30

Congratulations to your DS @Biscuitsneeded and everyone else’s DCs who have been cast as performers or musicians. 🙌🙌

For all those with no’s - you will be back!!

And hope you get an answer soon @Pinkstargazer12 🙏

bublinka · 26/04/2021 22:52

Just found this super helpful thread and have already learnt a lot, thank you all! I have a first time musician DC and we don't know anyone who has done NYMT in the past.

For those that received good news & replied to accept their place within 24 hours, did you receive a confirmation e-mail? Suddenly having a panic that my accept e-mail didn't go through and they've offered the musician place to someone else!!

minimits · 26/04/2021 23:16

Congratulations @bublinka! DS didn’t get an email confirmation after accepting performers place x

allhailthebrain · 26/04/2021 23:34

@bublinka congratulations to your DC!

I don't know about musicians, I did get a reply when accepting the performer's place a few days ago. But I wouldn't panic! You can always double check :)

minimits · 26/04/2021 23:41

Oh-now I’m panicking!

allhailthebrain · 26/04/2021 23:56

I really wouldn't! I think they're just crazy busy!

Actually thinking about it - enquiries@ didn't reply but I had copied Kylie too - and it was her that replied...

Does that help? :)

doesanybodyhaveamap · 27/04/2021 07:06

No reply here either - I have also paid and woe betide anyone that tries to tell me she's not going 🤣🤣

(Agree they're just insanely busy, it was a huge weekend for emails....)

Also forgot to say Hi @bublinka ! Congratulations to DC and welcome! Which show??

minimits · 27/04/2021 08:23

Ah ok-I will stop panicking Grin

Biscuitsneeded · 27/04/2021 09:57

DS' offer e-mail asked him to reply to Kylie@ to confirm his place. I am sure they are checking the enquiries one too though. And if you paid the deposit I'm sure you'll be fine.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 27/04/2021 10:00

our email said to email enquiries@... they are probably splitting the workload??

OP posts:
Pinkstargazer12 · 27/04/2021 10:07

After emailing Kylie directly, we finally have news. It’s a no (totally expected) and DD is fine. Kylie did say DD is a reserve for all the shows and the workshop is still being cast. They will email either way by Friday. Is this a standard response or are some receiving definite no’s. In a garbled way, I’m
Asking if the reserve thing is different from a no!!

lolacharlie43 · 27/04/2021 11:19

@Pinkstargazer we also had the an email to say my DD is a reserve for the shows and is being considered for the workshop. From what I can gather this seems to be what most people have been told. There seem to only been a few people who are still waiting to hear anything at all and I haven't heard of anyone having a flat out no as yet. I guess we will all have to wait until Friday but we should all be very proud of our DC for getting this far. Its a great achievement no matter what the outcome particularly after this past horrendous year.

minimits · 27/04/2021 11:29

Just wanted to say to anyone who gets a no-as everyone else has said to get this far is an amazing accomplishment and is nothing to do with not being good enough. DS had three years of NYMT no’s before he finally got a yes. They definitely recognise perseverance and it’s worth sticking at it! Good luck to everyone on the reserve list!

Pinkstargazer12 · 27/04/2021 11:35

Thanks @lolacharlie43 I suspect it is a standard holding message, totally understandable when there is so much going on. DD’s friend had an email saying she was reserve for BTK but not anything else, perhaps there are a few versions of the email? It is an achievement and DD is very happy with the reserve list place.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 27/04/2021 21:04

This is lovely...

That is indeed lovely, and true.

Montimom · 27/04/2021 22:01

It really is a lovely tweet, we really never know what is around the corner. Hopefully still some more positive news to come xx

bublinka · 27/04/2021 22:46

Thanks all for the reassurance! Musician in Hunchback. Spent a wonderful sunny weekend in Manchester a few years ago, so super pleased we can go back to watch the show there. It'll be like a mini holiday after the craziness of this year.
