Do you have a student who adores musicals but doesn’t get the chance to perform in them? A student who’s an outstanding singer and is looking to gain more dance experience? An instrumentalist who’s quickly outgrowing the capabilities of the local youth orchestra and wants to try something new? If so, a British Youth Music Theatre (BYMT) production might be for them. Now in its 20th year, BYMT is the leading music theatre company for young people aged 11–21 across the UK, and soon we’ll be launching auditions for our summer 2025 programme.
My own BYMT experience as a musician led me to where I am now: working for BYMT as a music coordinator, and freelance as a sound designer, having graduated from a master’s programme at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. BYMT gave me an insight into what I enjoyed doing, where I might fit into the theatre world, and the confidence boost I needed to apply for a music degree. Would I recommend it? Absolutely.
