Actor Auditions

ABOUT AUDITIONS

Our auditions take the form of creative group workshops led by professional theatre practitioners and are friendly spaces where we explore acting, singing, movement and team working skills. All disciplines are taken equally into consideration when casting our shows, so give everything a really good go. If you’re feeling anxious, it is totally understandable, and the BYMT staff members are there to support you through your audition experience. The most important thing is commitment and enthusiasm!

Every year hundreds of young people 11-21 year olds perform in fully staged musicals created by West End writers and directors, on the professional stages of venues such as Southwark Playhouse, Lyric Theatre Belfast, and Birmingham Hippodrome with BYMT. For your chance to take part in the next Easter and Summer seasons of shows all you have to do is come and audition and show us what you can do. Sing, dance, act, play a musical instrument.

Our 2025 National Auditions Tour is now over, please revisit this page in September for details of our 2026 Audition Tour.
