Sting Announces New The Last Ship Run After Concert Cancellations
Days after cancelling multiple shows, Sting announced a new run for his musical The Last Ship.
“We’re delighted to be welcoming The Last Ship—written, composed, and starring Sting—to the Met for a limited run of performances June 9–14,” Sting’s management revealed.
According to the Met, The Last Ship is inspired by Sting’s childhood in a shipbuilding community in the “industrial northeast” of the U.K. and “drawing on his musical roots.”
“The production will feature new and revised songs,” the announcement further revealed. “As well as a new book by Barney Norris.”
“Sting will portray Jackie White, the shipyard foreman at the story’s center,” the Met shared. “With reggae icon and longtime collaborator Shaggy co-starring as the Ferryman.”
Speaking about The Last Ship, Sting stated, “I grew up in the shadow of a shipyard, watching thousands of men walk past my front door every morning to work there, and imagining that would be my destiny too. I dreamed of escaping—and I succeeded, traveling far and earning my living on some the world’s greatest stages—including the Metropolitan Opera House in 2010. But the further I got, the more that shipyard called to me.”
He then added, “The Last Ship is my tribute to the people and the place that shaped me. Bringing it to the Met feels like a full-circle moment.”
