Liam Neeson stopped by to enjoy a performance of the Irish musical Good Vibrations in New York City.
The actor, from Northern Ireland, is a patron of the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, which put on the production which is currently performing at the Irish Arts Center in Manhattan.
The 71-year-old enjoyed the performance on the evening of Wednesday, July 5.
Sharing an image on social media of the Ballymena man with the cast and crew of the show, the Irish Arts Center said: “The Good Vibrations team had a very special guest in the house last night.
“Thank you, Liam Neeson, for coming out to see this show and for supporting this amazing cast and crew.”
Resharing the post, the Lyric Theatre in Belfast added: “Delighted that our Patron, our very own Liam Neeson, visited the Irish Arts Center last night to see the Lyric’s production of Good Vibrations and to meet the incredible company behind this show. What an honor!”

Good Vibrations tells Belfast’s story of hope and resilience through dark times through the rise of punk music in the city during The Troubles.
It follows the story of Terri Hooley, who opened the iconic Good Vibrations record store and music label in the city in the late 1970s.
The store provided a lifeline for many young people trying to break through the sectarianism that was rife in Northern Ireland at the time, choosing to rise above through their love of music.
Good Vibrations was written by Colin Carberry and Glenn Patterson and was based on the BAFTA-winning film of the same name, and is produced by the Lyric Theatre, Belfast.
The show features a 12-person cast of actor-singer-musicians, including Cat Barter as Marilyn Hyndman, Connor Burnside as Billy Doherty, Darren Franklin as Dave, Marty Maguire as George Hooley, Odhrán McNulty as Ronnie Matthews, Chris Mohan as Graham ‘Getty’ Marshall, Christina Nelson as Mrs.
Hooley and Mrs. Sharkey, Jolene O’Hara as Polly, Gavin Peden as Brian Young, Dylan Reid as Feargal Sharkey/Greg Cowan, Glen Wallace as Terri Hooley, and Jayne Wisener as Ruth Carr.
Good Vibrations is running at the Irish Arts Center until July 19 and tickets can be found at irishartscenter.org.
