Musical extravaganza staged by Derby Youth Musical Theatre, the city's leading youth musical theatre company.
Derby Youth Musical Theatre are back on stage with Up Close With DYMT, running at Shakespeare House from Friday 27 November. It's a musical extravaganza from the city's leading theatre group for young people, and it's their first production of the season.
If you've come across them before, you'll know the scale they work at. DYMT was set up in 2013 to bring together young people from across the region who share a love for musical theatre, and since then they've put hundreds of young cast members on stage across thirteen productions. It's not just about the singing and dancing, either — the group offers membership, auditions, and the chance to train as a technician, so there's a whole crew working behind the scenes as well as the performers up front. Over the years they've built up a large costume stock that they hire out, so they've got a fair bit going on beyond the shows themselves.
