NYMT/BYMT 2024!

[Biscuitsneeded]

Seeing as NYMT have announced their shows, it feels like a good time to start a thread for anyone with DC planning on auditioning for 2024 for either NYMT or BYMT - as performers or musicians, or as assistant creatives. Please come and say hi and tell us a bit about your DC. There are lots of experienced parents of DC who have been part of both organisations, and these threads are always genuinely supportive and helpful.
I'll invite some previous thread participants below - please come and say hi!

Results coming out… for last weekend

Best of luck everyone ❣️

Good luck to those waiting.

Yes best of luck to all- anyone heard yet?

Two recalls for shows for mine! Happy kid!

Great done mini @allhailthebrain

Happy here too- recall for our house and platform.

Recall for Our House and Catastrophe Bay

Well done everyone!

Well done guys!!

also welcome to the newbies I missed (but good answers had already been given to your questions!).

Virtual wine to the BYMTers in the waiting room and break a leg to any NYMT or BYMT auditioning this weekend!

I’ve heard of one lovey first time BYMT from the weekend who’s doing the Easter show following the audition.

There’s an Easter show…? I’m so out of touch!

Congratulations to the DC @allhailthebrain @Youarenotseriouspeople @Mcmumager . Great news.

BYMT are doing Animal farm at the Birmingham Hippodrome in the Easter holidays.

Two recalls here too for Our House and Into the Woods. Very happy DS! Congratulations everyone

Very excited and relieved and excited again! My DC all recalled and over the moon❤️

Brilliant news montimom. Was wondering about your gang…Which shows for this time?

We have one recalled for each 😂 Ryanair will be delighted if they all get through

Wow @ montimom, they never get the same ones do they!

@Montimom if they all get through I think that might be a record!!

Just a belated Break a Leg to anyone at auditions this weekend!

Oh yes good luck to all 👍😀

Hi Guys, Does everyone get some kind of a recall this year with NyMT I wonder? Has anyone heard of anyone getting a no to a second audition yet or a workshop audition? I know some of your have mentioned it's abit different this year. With all of the recalls for shows do some get nothing from NYMT after recalls I wonder. 🤔

@Shesings2023 it has changed a little but no, not everyone gets a recall. Some people will be recalled for a specific show or shows. Some people will be recalled for the new musicals workshops. A third group of people will not get a recall, but this year will be invited to take part in a skills workshop (which is not the same thing as the new musicals workshops) in summer. This year if you do the skills workshop you are still considered part of NYMT company and can possibly have some other opportunities to perform, but there is no need to attend any recalls for the skills workshop.
I don't know what the numbers are like but I imagine that after the recall weekends there will be people who recalled for shows who don't get cast, and similarly people who recalled for the new musicals workshops who also don't get a place. I don't KNOW that for sure but it would be very difficult for them only to recall the exact number needed! I'm sure anyone in that situation will be able to do a skills course and be part of things that way if they choose.
It may look from this thread as if most people get a recall. That's really not the case! I know quite a lot of the posters on here have DC who have done NYMT before. Having done it previously doesn't confer any advantage when it comes to casting, but being chosen once must mean the DC have talent so perhaps it's less surprising if those DC get recalls. I also think some people only find this thread when their child gets a recall and they start googling to find out more about NYMT! On the other hand, some posters may disappear and choose not to say when their DC does not get recalled, which is entirely their prerogative, but it makes it seem as if everyone gets recalled when that's not the case.

That describes us @Biscuitsneeded ! this is our first year and at the audition a fabulous mum told me loads and I was so grateful to her passing on her wisdom including telling me about this page! It felt really supportive and not at all competitive as I could imagine it could easily be!
