BYMT provides music theatre training to young people aged 11–21 and a stepping stone to drama school or conservatoire.
[3] The BYMT training programme focuses almost entirely on new music theatre and by 2019 had produced 127 productions of 101 new works [4] including, in 2009, Loserville which went on to become a professional West End production at the Garrick Theatre in 2012.
[5] A number of these productions including Loserville are available for licence either through Music Theatre International[6] in London or directly from the writers.
The company's founder and Executive Producer Jon Bromwich retired[7] in April 2022 and his successor Emily Gray became CEO and Creative Director[8] after leaving her post as Director of Mercury Musical Developments.
Alumni include Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Charlotte Ritchie and Daisy Chute (the last two were in All Angels[9] cross-over singing group as well as being actresses), Tara Wilcox of The Wandering Hearts, Baker Mukasa and Kayleigh McKnight (both in Tina: The Musical),[10] Gabriel Mokake and Christopher Tendai (both in Hamilton),[11] Grace Mouat and Tim Mahendran (both in & Juliet).
