Coleraine's Jayne Wisener to star in hit Belfast punk musical Good Vibrations

The smash-hit Lyric production will run at the Grand Opera House Belfast 9 - 20 May, starring local woman Jayne as Ruth Carr.

Jayne is well known to north coast audiences for her roles in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, The Inbetweeners, Jane Eyre and Misfits.

Good Vibrations is directed by Des Kennedy (Piaf, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), written by Colin Carberry and Glenn Patterson, and with musical direction by Katie Richardson and choreography by Jennifer Rooney.

It’s 1970s Belfast. Terri Hooley - radical, rebel, music-lover is the owner of Good Vibrations record shop on ‘the most bombed half-mile in Europe.’

When the conflict shuts down his city, Terri and friends take sides and take up arms through the compelling voice of resistance in the city’s underground punk scene. Galvanising the young musicians into action, he becomes the unlikely leader of a motley band of kids and punks who join him in his mission to create a new community, an Alternative Ulster, and to bring his city back to life.

The cast also includes TV star Glen Wallace (Hollyoaks, The Secret) as Terri Hooley, Marty Maguire, Christina Nelson, Curtis-Lee Ashqar, Cat Barter, Gavin Peden, Chris Mohan, Odhran McNulty, Jolene O’Hara and Dylan Reid.

Just a stone’s throw away from the site of the old record shop, this production features iconic punk anthems including Teenage Kicks, Just Another Teenage Rebel and Alternative Ulster.
