Our Mission

National Youth Music Theatre offers exceptional opportunities in pre-professional musical theatre training for talented young people aged 10 to 23. We offer skills workshops, masterclasses and residential courses led by industry professionals. We commission and present exciting new work and – in collaboration with some of the UK’s leading creative minds – produce bold, new realisations of major works of the core repertoire. 

These opportunities exist for stage performers, musicians, technicians and stage crew and, though our Creative Team Mentorship Scheme, for aspiring directors, musical directors, choreographers and designers. 

NYMT represents the very best in work with young people through musical theatre, enabling thousands across the UK to develop both their creative and personal potential – leading Andrew Lloyd Webber to dub it “the best youth music theatre in the world”.
