Emily White (L5N) performed with Youth Music Theatre UK for the second year running in August.

Youth Music Theatre UK, the leading music theatre company for young people aged 11-21, is a national performing arts company that specialises in creating brand new music theatre. They work across the UK and Ireland with leading industry professionals to offer unique opportunities and high-quality training to young singers, actors, dancers and musicians as well as emerging artists and stage technicians. Roles in their productions are highly sought after as a result, with applications from across the country.

Emily was cast in the world premiere of A Teenage Opera - an rock opera concept album recorded at Abbey Road studios 50 years ago, which was revived and reworked into a full scale musical by the YMT creative team. The original composer, Mark Wirtz came over from America to advise and watch the show.
