The Last Ship: Opening Night Livestream

Sting takes on the leading 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 a hometown he was desperate to escape, a world where love, loss, and hope intertwine. 

“I literally grew up in the shadow of the yard,” Sting says. “I dreamed of escaping – and I succeeded. But later I realised I had to give something back. The Last Ship is my tribute to the people and the place that shaped me.” 

If you’re a fan of Sting, his music – from raw folk and rousing choirs to intimate ballads – forms the beating heart of the production. The Last Ship is a true musical odyssey carried by powerful and moving melodies and lyrics with well-known songs such as 'Island of Souls', 'All This Time' and 'When We Dance' interwoven and performed by 48 artists, musicians and choristers.

This won’t just be a ‘concert event’. This is Sting with all the magic and might of musical theatre.
