I had the BYMT marketing email too- ds and dd wondering whether to audition. Dd never auditioned for NYMT or BYMT before but her summer residential has just been cancelled for second year running.

Ds took his lack of place on NYMT well especially considering how excited he was to get in last year. Not sure if it’s worth the stress of another waiting game!!

Any others considering a late entry 😂

Congratulations 🎉 great news

Hi all, after a very long wait, DD has been offered Nightshade. Is anyone else's DC in this one? Apparently there has been a cockup. DD had a very high score but for some reason fell through the net. If I hadn't phoned they probably would have forgotten all about her. It makes me wander what she might have been offered if this hadn't happened.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 22/04/2021 17:56

Congratulations @Operagirl1 !! That looks like a great show!!

Really hacked off that they’ve said dd is on reserve list (bymt) but are adding a whole load more audition dates...seems extremely unfair to reserves!

DramMum · 22/04/2021 18:20

@DorotheaDiamond we are in the same boat

DorotheaDiamond · 22/04/2021 18:54

It’s really very mean of them! But pretty sure that calling them up to say that will be counterproductive

allhailthebrain · 22/04/2021 19:01

@doesanybodyhaveamap I am SO pleased for you and your DD - that's amazing news! To get to play that score in such a fabulous and unique venue... Bravo!!

DramMum · 22/04/2021 19:09

@Yr10mom congratulations!

Janet25 · 22/04/2021 19:10

@Yr10mom great news, congrats x x x
No news still here for musician place for DS so wondering if that means bad news Confused

Absolutely. And although the performer 'no's' stung a bit at the time, when we set out at the beginning of the year, I asked her what her Number 1 outcome would be and she thought long and hard before saying "musician in Hunchback". Can't ask for more for them really, can you?

Comefromaway · 22/04/2021 19:13

Regardless of the outcome I’m going to try and book tickets for Hunchback. It’s such a glorious score.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 22/04/2021 19:14

@Janet25 we've only heard hunchback news so far I think? I have a number of friends with very accomplished young musicians (including some who have been offered in previous years) still waiting for news too. So hang in there x

user2005 · 22/04/2021 19:24

Good luck to those still waiting to hear!! Anyone know how many people there are in the BYMT shows approximately?

allhailthebrain · 22/04/2021 19:34

@Yr10mom congratulations to you and yours too! Fabulous!

@doesanybodyhaveamap you're absolutely right, in the end, her talent has got her exactly what she wanted - perfect!

@Operagirl1 great news for you too! Though extremely annoying and frustrating!

I feel for those on the BYMT reserve list with auditions still open - I wonder if it's just that they will make up the places from those on the reserve list + those still to audition? So in effect they're on hold...?

Operagirl1 · 22/04/2021 19:38

My DD isn't happy atm as she feels she might have missed out on something better. It looks as though Nightshade is largely an ensemble piece. There is no mention of a part only an offer of being in the show. DD really wanted a part. We will have to pull her out of a professional opera production she is in to do this. She is due to audition on Sunday for a small part in the opera. I will have to phone BYMT for more details tomorrow. Very annoying, the whole thing!
