About

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 who construct magnificent vessels with tremendous pride. It 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.

    Boring

    by Janiesq on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    This show could have been told in one act.The dances were boring, the storyline never ended up having a climax, and the casket didn't need to be on stage so long.

    Excellent play

    by Janmet on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    My husband, son and I went to see this. We all loved it. Music was great, voices were exceptional, really enjoyed every minute (and sang along with a few songs because we'd gotten the soundtrack earlier and have been listening to it). Highly recommend it.

    Loved The Last Ship

    by mrsd1 on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    The PBS Special last spring sparked my interest. I decided when the show came to Broadway I would see it and I am so happy I did. I smiled, I cried, I laughed and was totally entertained from beginning to end.

    Fantastic show

    by barbie119 on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    Although the story/writing needs a bit of tweaking, the musical was different and exciting. The songs were amazing, everyone had great voices, and the audience loved the show. It is a definite must see!

    You Must See the Lost Ship!!

    by pinballparadise on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    This is probably one of the best shows we've seen and we go to the theater 2 - 3 times a month. The script, acting, music, dancing, choreography, humor this show has it all.From laughs to tears, all of your emotional senses will be stimulated. Best $ spent in a while. If you see only one show this year, this is the one! Oh yeah, music by Sting is just another plus.

    The play was so outstanding. Everyone in the audience was discussing the music, singing, acting . . . through the roof. The Last Ship also received a standing ovation at the end.

    by Squueze on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    My husband and I found the music not typical of a broadway show. Very refreshing and relaxing. Did not want it too end. Not all broadway should be explosions fireworks and special effects. Go and be entertained. Its sting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Go see it today!

    by huthoney on 10/28/14Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    If you enjoy Sting, you will love this show. I pictured Sting singing in every song which aptly told the story of a shipyard community facing economic hardships. The relationships between the various characters were also well done. I read a review stating disappointment in the lack of depth of the relationships and shipyard activities. This is a 2 1/2 hr. show........imagination fills in the gaps...it was not a problem for me. The performances were well done, the music very spirited and overall a very enjoyable play. P.S. My favorite character and singer was Jimmy Nail who played the role of Jackie White. He was a demanding presence with the sound of Sting coming from his voice.
