ABOUT AUDITIONS
This year we are holding online auditions instead of our usual face-to-face auditions and they are booking out rapidly. We are looking for talented young performers and musicians to perform in our next season of new music theatre. Auditions are open to anyone aged 11-21 and no previous experience is necessary. The auditions consist of a 2-hour online workshop led by top theatre professionals. During the workshop you will first undertake a series of warm up exercises, then learn a new song and sing it back to the auditions team, learn a short movement section and do some acting exercises. Our team will learn a lot from this about your abilities, any past training and all that raw talent you can show off. You can also send us a short video of additional material if you want it to be considered after your online audition; you can send this in at any time but it must be with us by the Tuesday after your audition - but it is not essential. Start your stage career now! BOOK YOUR SESSION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.

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!
