NYMT Alumni

Where Are They Now?
OUR ALUMNI
The National Youth Music Theatre is proud of its alumni. All the young people who have "The NYMT Experience" will gain self-confidence, team working ability, an understanding of how to value all, and the self-discipline needed to make a success of their future lives. Most will take those skills into the regular world of work. Some will go on to achieve in creative industries, in theatre, television, music theatre or music. Here are some of the destinations of NYMT graduates over company's lifetime of growing the talents of young people.
