Birmingham: A Platform for Young Performers – Audition for NYMT’s 2025 Programme
Birmingham, a city known for its rich musical and cultural diversity, is a fantastic place for the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT) to bring its audition workshops.
These workshops provide young performers in the Midlands an exciting opportunity to showcase their skills in acting, singing, and dancing while receiving expert guidance from industry professionals. Following the news of NYMT's relocation to the Birmingham Hippodrome, these audition workshops are an exciting step in expanding their reach and commitment to the region's thriving arts scene.
NYMT’s Birmingham workshops are open to young people aged 10-23, regardless of their level of experience. Whether you're an experienced performer or just starting your journey in music theatre, the workshops are tailored to help you develop and refine your skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.
The National Youth Music Theatre has nurtured countless talented performers who have gone on to achieve success in the professional world. Famous alumni include Idris Elba, known for his roles in Luther and The Wire, and Rosy Church, who has starred in Les Misérables in the West End.
NYMT’s 2025 programme features iconic productions like Fame The Musical, Carousel, and Tuck Everlasting, along with fresh, exciting new works such as Stagshaw Fayre and Carmilla. The year also includes opportunities for emerging writers, composers, directors, and technicians through creative workshops and production pathways, offering a holistic experience for young theatre makers.
Kerry Ellis, NYMT’s newest patron, shares: “I am beyond proud and honoured to be a new patron of the NYMT. I had such an amazing time when I was younger, and it really made a difference to my future. I’m proud to have been part of one of their shows and hope lots of other young people have the opportunity to experience what I did.”
