Tony Nominee Sting's The Last Ship Will Set Sail to Scandinavia, May Dock in U.K.

All aboard! Broadway.com has confirmed that the short-lived but loved Great White Way musical The Last Ship will dock in Norway, Sweden and Finland over the next two years. Sting, who received a 2015 Tony nomination for his score of the tuner, is also in talks to bring the show home to his native U.K.

The Last Ship will play in Oslo in 2016 before heading to Stockholm and Helsinki in 2017; the musical will be performed in each country's local language.

Featuring a book by John Logan and Brian Yorkey, The Last Ship is inspired by Sting’s own childhood experiences and his album of the same name. It is set in an English seafaring town that operates around the local shipyard and follows Gideon Fletcher, a man who left home to see the world and returns fourteen years later to find that the future of the shipyard is in danger. The shipyard’s workers decide to take their fate into their own hands and build a towering representation of the shared dream that has defined their existence.

The high-profile tuner opened officially at the Neil Simon Theatre on October 26, 2014, directed by Joe Mantello. Sting himself joined the cast of the show mid run in an attempt to improve ticket sales, but the musical shuttered on January 24, 2015 after 29 previews and 105 regular performances.
