He adds: "I strongly recommend auditioning for BYMT to any young people with a flair for musical theatre. I think this is the best way for them to discover the industry from the inside and get some professional performing experience."

In February, BYMT will be touring across the UK and Ireland in search of talented performers and musicians to star in brand-new musicals this summer. Are you aged 11-21 and love performing?
