More about The Last Ship

17-time Grammy Award winning artist Sting will perform in this new production of his musical, The Last Ship; featuring a new book by Barney Norris and direction by Leo Warner with Set and Video Design by 59 Studio.

Rooted in his own childhood in the British shipbuilding town of Wallsend, The Last Ship tells the moving story of a community of shipbuilders in the North East of England, faced with the closure of their shipyard – the heart of their existence.

Sting takes on the role of Jackie White, the shipyard’s foreman whose health is failing just as his leadership is needed most. In this very personal show, the artist immerses the audience in the hometown he was desperate to escape, a world where love, loss, and hope intertwine.

Sting’s beloved songs such as Island of Souls, All This Time, and When We Dance are woven into the performance in this fully staged, large-scale production featuring a company of over 50.

The Last Ship has been seen across the globe this year, with hugely successful runs in Amsterdam, Brisbane, Paris, and Metropolitan Opera in New York this June with Sting performing in every show.
