Theres a lot of guessing on the teasers. But excited to see if any of the guesses are right.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 25/10/2026 10:43

If our guesses are right it’s going to be an epic season!!

Think my daughter guessed pippin, guys n dolls and newsies. Possible flash dance for the 3rd one πŸ˜‚. Probably all wrong.

We agree with you except Made in Dagenham instead of Flash Dance. I will confess to cheating by asking ChatGPT 🀣

We have never heard of made in daghenham so need to check that out. Will be my daughters first year auditioning for nymt (she did BYMT last summer and first year for that too).

All the best to her! Hope she enjoys the process πŸ₯°

Hoping so much for Pippin, it's really close to my heart! ❀️🀞 We also guessed Guys and Dolls and Newsies, but aren't familiar with Made in Dagenham.
Can anyone remember when the audition dates are usually announced? We're waiting to see if they keep the same format as last year and provide under 16s with a list of songs to choose from

Operasingerkath · 25/10/2026 14:48

So exciting once again! Thanks for setting this up, @doesanybodyhaveamap . Based on his guesses, DS has decided to audition again because he loves all of them, so we’re avidly awaiting the confirmation tomorrow.

in relation to audition dates, @seventwelve25 I seem to think they usually announce them around the same time as the shows. Not sure if I imagined it, but I think I remember seeing something that said they were starting auditions earlier this year, maybe before Christmas? Maybe that will be confirmed tomorrow too

doesanybodyhaveamap · 25/10/2026 14:58

Audition dates are already up x

@Operasingerkathmine was unsure this year too, but is thinking again now that they know the shows!!

Thanks so much for the heads up! Just booked Dd for Newcastle!

Hello again everyone, and a big welcome to new joiners. I shouldn't really be here, as DS has graduated out of NYMT, but if you don't mind I will hang around and interject if I have anything useful to add. Will be following the updates on here, and your offspring's progress, with keen interest. Break a leg to them all.

I was just going to say the same thing!

EweCee · 25/10/2026 20:47

Just found out this week that my DD is getting braces in a few weeks (waiting until she finishes another show first!) - does having braces exclude or diminsh chances for a show?

I would say not at all. I do remember worrying about that but honestly, so many teens have braces at some point. I would say maybe don't book an audition within a few days of having a brace fitted, but otherwise that would not be an issue.

Operasingerkath · 25/10/2026 21:56

I agree-DS has definitely been in shows with at least one person (a girl) who had braces

Biscuitsneeded · 25/10/2026 21:57

Mine had braces for at least one year.

EweCee · 26/10/2026 03:05

Ok, thanks all, that's reassuring.

doesanybodyhaveamap · 26/10/2026 19:29

Exciting confirmation of the shows! I just hope they don’t sell out before we get to know casting since the tickets are released so early 😬. Much as I wish we could go to watch everything, our budget definitely won’t stretch that far so we’ll have to wait to book!

Livingtheirauthenticlife · 26/10/2026 22:36

Sooo exciting! What a line up!

Mercury is a much bigger theatre so lots more seats!

Ooh a friend has just pointed out G&D will be all younger ones! Interesting!!
