Actor Auditions

ABOUT US

British Youth Music Theatre (BYMT) is the leading musical theatre company for young people. We work across the UK and Ireland with West End professionals to offer unique opportunities and high-quality training to young people. Since 2003 we have trained over 8,000 young people, many of whom have successfully entered the creative industries such as Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Lauren Samuels, Charlotte Ritchie, Jack Bence, Lucy Griffiths, Luke McCall, Bradley Jaden and many more!

ABOUT AUDITIONS

Our National Auditions are back! This January and February, BYMT will be visiting 15 cities across the UK and Ireland in search of talented young performers and musicians to take part in our Easter and Summer Seasons 2022! Auditions are open to anyone aged 11-21 and no previous experience is necessary. 

Our in-person auditions are three hours long each and take the form of a group workshop with continuous assessment throughout, including singing, acting and dancing. (For MUSICIAN AUDITIONS click here!)

Online Auditions

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our online auditions in October and November! Our team was so impressed by the level of enthusiasm and talent that they saw. We are in the process of processing our offers and are aiming to deliver responses by Fri 10th Dec. If you have any questions in the interim, please contact our Admissions Manager on cerysjones@bymt.org, or please call the office on 020 8563 7725. Don't worry if you missed our online auditions, you can still sign up below for our in-person auditions in January & February!

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM SUCCESSFUL?

If you are successful, you will be invited to join one of our exciting musical theatre productions over Easter or during the Summer. These are all residential courses and take place across the UK.You will be living and breathing theatre 24/7 for 2-3 weeks. BYMT is a new writing company so you will be developing new work that no one has seen before (except when we revive our own shows and even then we often rewrite them). Some of our shows are commissioned new work and some are devised; whichever way, stand by to test your creativity.You will work with West End professionals to build a full-scale musical show from the ground up and perform in the UK’s most prestigious venues and festivals! You will also get a Grade 8 Certificate from Trinity College London. There’s no experience like it! AUDITION NOW!
