With a stellar cast, 11-piece orchestra, bright lights, big dance numbers and Belfast’s classic dark humour, Group! The Musical has taken the world by storm since its premiere at the Lyric in 2002, going on to play New York, Philadelphia, Australia, and London.

Last night our amazing cast and band gave their last performance of GROUP! The Musical at the Lyric Theatre. It’s been an incredible journey bringing this piece back to the stage more than two decades after it was first created. We welcomed thousands of audience members to a therapy session not to be forgotten and we loved every second. Thank you to everyone who came to laugh with us, to @lyricbelfast for making us a part of their 75th anniversary celebrations and to every member of the team who helped make this production come to life!

We love a full circle moment! It was a privilege to have Victoria Kruger-Hayward come to a performance of GROUP! The Musical. Victoria played Jean in a London production of the show back in 2004, so she’s one of the OG’s in GROUP’s backstory. Thanks for coming, Victoria! Make sure you take this advice and run to get tickets for GROUP! The Musical before it ends this Saturday, 4th April.

Belfast Ensemble have just *five* more shows of the hilarious GROUP! The Musical at the Lyric Theatre.
The critically acclaimed show from the award-winning Conor Mitchell must end this Saturday!
Frank, Jean, Barbara, Chris, and Jackie all have a lot of stuff going on. They’ve spent 15 absurd weeks melting the head off their woefully inept facilitator Emmet - and the cracks are starting to show…
When Amy - a new member with a twisted secret - joins the group, their tenuous bond is pushed to breaking point. Confessions, confrontation, and chaos combine in an outrageous comedy that’s so funny it hurts.
Book Now - must end 04 April!
