Sting to Star in Toronto Premiere of His Musical The Last Ship

According to published reports, Sting will star in the Toronto premiere of his musical The Last Ship, running at the Princess of Wales Theatre February 9, 2019-March 24, 2019. He will play Jackie White, a role he also played at the tail end of its short-lived Broadway premiere back in 2014-15.

Sting is also the composer and lyricist of the musical, which will be presented in Toronto with the new book by Lorne Campbell that was unveiled in a recent UK tour. (John Logan and Brian Yorkey wrote the book for the Broadway version.)

The Last Ship tells the story of Gideon Fletcher, a young man from the English seafaring town of Wallsend, who leaves his life behind to travel the world — only to return a decade later to find out that what he deserted is more than he ever could have imagined.
