So with the big reveal of the 50th anniversary programme it feels like a good time to start the 2026 chat!

Wow 600 recalled! Numbers are immense. Well, all a bit tantalising knowing it’s all there. Surely tomorrow….
good luck to all kids in whatever opportunity comes their way. 🤗

Exciting!!

The exact numbers ... NYMT tell us you stalked this thread without telling us you stalked this thread 😂

Is there are chance could be out tonight? To post that to socials means they know that people will see it and be waiting...

Did I win the 200 a day sweepstake?

Honestly seeing these numbers my expectations are low for DD this year. Hope the wait isn't too much longer!

Ok Chris, you're done - just press send now.

I mean, it's that easy, right...? 😉

Seriously, well done Team NYMT on the massive jigsaw puzzle, and now...

...we continue to wait!

Oh I know the admin of dropping all the names in to a mailing list double checking and getting it all actually delivered accurately takes time, but knowing it is sooooo close but not knowing

Are we still on biscuits or is it acceptable to start on the wine now ???

I'd have certainly joined you if I wasn't loaded with cold and in need of an early night!
In the meanwhile, I'm thinking a Bruce-sized chocolate cake might be needed to get through the day ahead?

Lionelblair · 26/02/2026 07:29

cake & wine 🙏🏼
it’s today surely.

Mumster40 · 26/02/2026 07:33

600 recalled!!! Gulp. Good luck everyone x

doesanybodyhaveamap · 26/02/2026 07:41

Finger crossed everyone! Looking forward to hearing the news

I’m so excited for kids, and parents, I don’t know. Fingers crossed for you all

Biscuitsneeded · 26/02/2026 08:08

Just to sound a note of caution before you open all the biscuits/drink all the wine - the instagram post suggests all decisions are made, but they probably need a little time to set up all the emails, especially the show cast emails which will be different for each individual role. I also think in the past they let the creatives have a sort of cooling off period in case they wanted to change anything. So it would be lovely if it was today, but don't sit and wait for an email - I think it could still be tomorrow. Whatever happens, it won't be too long now!

NeedyZebra · 26/02/2026 09:08

still waiting, on the edge of my seat! 😂

allhailthebrain · 26/02/2026 11:28

By way of distraction, I see "Tony Award-winning Broadway star will play Rosalind in a new production of As You Like It for the Royal Shakespeare Company"

I was lucky enough to see him on Broadway in both Merrily and Just in Time - what a performer! DC has a real thing for Shakespeare...

@allhailthebrain literally weeing with excitement at this news.

Good luck to everyone waiting, I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Whilst you are waiting can I be cheeky and ask for a little vote so my son can play at Tramlines. He is in the band for a singer called Holly Rolfe who has been shortlisted but the winner is chosen by public vote.
