THE LAST SHIP is a new musical with an original score by 16-time Grammy Award winner Sting. Inspired by Sting's own childhood experiences, this World Premiere production features direction by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Wicked), a book by Tony Award winner John Logan (Red) and Pulitzer Prize winner Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal) and choreography by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once).
THE LAST SHIP is set in the English seafaring town of Wallsend, a close-knit community where life has always revolved around the local shipyard and the hardworking men construct magnificent vessels with tremendous pride. But Gideon Fletcher dreams of a different future. He sets out to travel the world, leaving his life and his love behind. When Gideon returns home 14 years later, he finds the shipyard's future in grave danger and his childhood sweetheart engaged to someone else. As the men of Wallsend take their future into their own hands and build a towering representation of the shared dream that defines their existence, Gideon realizes that he left behind more than he could have ever imagined.
THE LAST SHIP is a portrait of a community so bound together by passion, faith and tradition, they'll stop at nothing to preserve the only life they've ever known.
Far exceeded expectations. Very moving in that there is a universal message. The composition and lyrics were superb and I could vaguely hear Stings voice in every song. Recommend this to anyone whether a Sting fan or not.
Better than I thought it was going to be. I highly recommend it. If you're a fan of the music of Sting and you enjoy a loud fun romantic event then this is a must see.....
Awesome music and performances along with a well crafted entertaining story.
Excellent musical. Wonderful surprise. Would gladly see again!
The music for this show is fantastic and supports the story very well. I am honored to have seen it in it's Pre-Boradway run as I know it will be a HUGE hit!
