Wonderful Day at the Theatre
A rousing, touching and beautiful day at the Theater! An amazing cast and what powerful vocal and acting performances. We left the theater with joy in our hearts and a spring in our step!! Bravo!
Great singing and meaningful plot
In this era of Disney musicals it is a pleasure to hear something that doesn't sound like every other musical. The cast is outstanding, with fabulous voices. And the plot is still timely, with a business owner throwing the workers under the bus. I really am not a Sting fan, but my 50 year old daughter is -- and she was thrilled to see and hear him in person.
A STUNNING AND BEAUTIFULLY UNDERSTATED WORK OF ART
Sting's THE LAST SHIP definitely needs pre-show research. This is not a typical Broadway musical with flashy dance numbers, incredible costumes and catchy music. It is, instead, a thoughtful, musical story about the last days of a vibrant ship-building town where Sting grew up. Complete with 'Geordie' accents of the region, the music and the dialogue have a certain 'lilt' to them. Sting's vocal flexibility is evident in his wide range from baritone into his head-tone/falsetto. His backup singers were spot-on in their intonation and harmony work with Sting. This production didn't need a massive ship set piece; the clever staging and lighting of the ship's image looming over the performers was a quiet but magnificent reminder of what was to be The Last Ship. This was a memorable production with lasting and personal impact.
Fabulous
Loved every minute. The plot the music the talent of the cast. The sets were incredible. Not to be missed.
STANDING OVATION WELL DESERVED!
What a treat to watch something that doesn't feel that it has been written to formula. The ensemble were fantastic and brought so much to the wonderful music. The production is beautiful, moving and uplifting all in one breath.
Really good musical!
I really enjoyed this musical, it being my first musical i've seen on any broadway type stage it was amazing! I laughed and I cried. The effects and set were amazing as well as the singing. Though the accents made it sort of hard to understand some of the spoken lines. I recommend seeing this show if possible!
