☆ ‘Good Vibrations’ Review: The Saving Power of Punk
  + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( Laura Collins-Hughes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
named Terri Hooley runs into a pair of local toughs — young men who’ve found their purpose in the gunfire and explosions of a sectarian conflict pitting Protestants against Catholics. “Take them dancing, like you used to.”Is it bad to call a punk rock musical charming? I hope not, because “Good Vibrations” — a biomusical about the real Terri Hooley, who became the idealistic, stalwart champion of Belfast’s nascent punk scene — absolutely is. Directed by Des Kennedy for the Lyric Theater, Belfast, it portrays music as a defiantly joyous refuge from ugliness and danger. Far from romanticizing mayhem, it presents Northern Irish punk as a youthful life force in opposition to it.

☆ A Stage Musical About Belfast’s Punk Oasis
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Elisabeth Vincentelli | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Of all the streets to open a record store, one nicknamed Bomb Alley might not have been optimal. Then again this was Belfast in 1977, when the nationalistic, sectarian violence known as the Troubles made retail perilous pretty much everywhere. The situation did not deter Terri Hooley, who welcomed warring Protestants and Catholics to the shop he had optimistically called Good Vibrations. “It was like a little oasis in a sea of madness,” Hooley, 74, said in a recent video conversation from Belfast. Colin Carberry and Glenn Patterson then adapted their own screenplay into a stage musical for Belfast’s Lyric Theater, whose current production of the show is running at the Irish Arts Center in Manhattan until July 16.
