In the Summer of 2010, the National Youth Music Theatre will stage a daring production of Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical ‘Sweeney Todd’ in London. The production will be rehearsed residentially and performed in London in August.

If selected, the cost of each course will be £800. This cost includes accommodation and food for residential stays and the tutoring and experience gained in rehearsal and performance.

We are interested in finding 50 talented young people from all over the UK, who have a keen interest in musical theatre. The audition (£35 fee) will be in the form of an all day workshop where you will work with NYMT practitioners, focussing on the disciplines of acting, singing and movement. From these auditions, we will notify who we would like to attend recall auditions in London on (Sat 20th Feb or Sun 21st Feb), from which the 2010 Company will be selected.

Our auditions are open to young people aged 11 - 21. Each audition day runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. All auditions are first come, first served and are subject to numbers. Productions are subject to funding.
