Apologies if I've missed anyone!
Congratulations to all your DC on what I gather was a hugely successful first night of Henrietta. Loving the tweets, and the set looks incredible. Really looking forward to watching this show.[/quote]
Thank you - it was so wonderful!
My other children were allowed out again from the day before (they caught it!) and we all finally got to the opening night - possibly the longest and most convoluted NYMT journey ever!
Henrietta is truly beautiful, and the talent on that stage is amazing...
If I had one thing I would change it would simply be that it were closer in (like in the pre covid days) simply because more people deserve to see it. These young people are phenomenal and it's a wonderful show. If you're nearby - please come!

@Quitelikeacatslife how is your ds getting on?

My dd is also on legend of white bear lake and has been on the phone in tears due to a couple of positive lateral flow tests amongst the cast. Have you heard anything? I've emailed the office to ask at what stage they would pull the whole thing but haven't heard back.

Will be gutted if it does get cancelled as my dd is having so much fun. She loved the cabaret the other evening.

Oh crikey I hope the show is ok. I guess they will get PCRs now? And go from there?

Our girls has shows this weekend. I hope it’s all ok!

He's really loving it, has told me about the positive tests as o understand if at the moment they are testing each day before they mix and if negative carrying on. He will be gutted if it doesn't happen he is having a fantastic time, was really brave at the caberet night and sang which he said he wasn't going to before he went. It seems well organised and supportive environment. Fingers crossed and take each day as it comes I guess

@allhailthebrain I think this venue may have been the best option available when ALW pulled the plug on The Other Palace.It looks like a beautiful theatre though?

@feelinhopeful Sorry to hear about the positive LFTs. Fingers crossed now the guidance has changed they won't have to send home close contacts and the show can go on, as long as not too many end up getting positive tests. Gutting for those who have to go home though. I hope you have had communication from head office now.

@Quitelikeacatslife glad he enjoyed the cabaret, my dd said everyone was so supportive of each other which is lovely. She has made so many new friends already, she'll be gutted if they end up pulling it. I guess if there are more cases over the next few days they'll need to make a decision.

@Biscuitsneeded no, nothing yet. I guess they are busy with the other shows etc. I have been messaging my dd telling her not to worry as it's out of her control, I really should listen to my own advice!!

Under the new rules anyone who is under 18 doesn't have to isolate so it will only affect the older cast members who havn't been able to be double vaxxed.

Spare a thought for the ones who tested positive. This was my dd 5 days before her grad showcase and she was devastated.

@Comefromaway yes totally devastated for those that have tested positive. Hopefully the BYMT will be able to offer them another production at a later date.

I feel for our youngsters so much at the moment, these should be the best years of their lives and they are missing out on so much.

Of course, awful for those who can't now do the show. Covid is PANTS. I hope no further cases will be identified.

In happier news, NYMT's Hunchback has been nominated for an Offie! twitter.com/OffWestEndCom/status/1428728470260027393

Really well deserved by the entire Hunchback company.

Yes that's right, it is a beautiful theatre - it's just that with it not being central, audiences have been smaller which is a shame. I've heard tomorrow night is looking full for the last show though - looking forward to that!
I am just so relieved, after all this time, and all the stress, that the show HAS gone on! Massive credit to the NYMT team in such uncertain times!

Well we thoroughly enjoyed Henrietta. Huge congrats to all the DC involved. And I agree, the fact that these shows happened at all is testament to the determination and courage in the face of adversity of the organisations producing them. They really do give young people such special and needed experiences that go way beyond just being in a show.

Our girls, our game finished! It was brilliant! A great true story, moving and funny too, great vocals. Very talented all female directing and writing team too 💪🏽

Just off to collect DS , legend of white bear has had to be pulled, 2 more positive lateral flows . So sad for them ,

@Quitelikeacatslife on my way too. So sad for them all. Fingers crossed that they can all get together to do it at Easter.

Yes that will be good if it can happen, busy canceling hotels etc for weekend. He's had an amazing experience for this week already, that's what I'll have to say to him:(

Oh no, so sorry to hear that @Quitelikeacatslife @feelinhopeful, that is gutting for them all. I do hope they can do it again next year.

Oh I’m so so sorry @Quitelikeacatslife @feelinhopeful they (and you) must be so so upset. I really hope they get to do it at Easter. I so feel for them.

Oh no that is very sad for the whole team. I wish it was different.

Ohhhh that's such sad news! One of DD's friends is on that show 😭 how awful for them all. X

Oh I'm sorry to read that. Poor kids. I hope if they have the makings of a a show they'll be able to get them all back together to perform it at some point.

So sorry to hear that. We know exactly how it feels.

Glad to see it’s moving to Easter.

great that they are going to resume at Easter! the kids will be delighted to be reunited then I'm sure. Silver linings....

Goblin Market opens tonight. DD is having a blast socially although isn't quite so keen on the actual music (very contemporary) but I'm interested to see the show. Also to see her face, which I am missing enormously after two back to back projects!!!

I’ve seen pics of goblin market - it looks like they are having fun
