While starring in a youth production on West Side Story at the Millennium Forum in Derry, she was discovered by a talent scout who asked her to audition for the musical Sweeney Todd . Later, however, at the age of 19, Wisener was deemed too old to play the role of 15-year-old Johanna Barker. She then emailed the producers a few pictures showing her without make-up, and although "looking young doesn’t bring any favors to an actress, [she] was really happy with the result" and got the role. After studying for a year at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, she left it because she got the role in Sweeney Todd.
