Sting's collection

"It's a profound honour to bring this musical to The Met in June with a reimagined production. At its heart, this is a personal tribute to the people and the place that made me who I am: a celebration of community, love, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. I'm also thrilled to share the stage with my dear friend Shaggy, and I'd urge you to experience the breathtaking new visual design by 59 Productions — it commands the stage in a way that simply has to be seen to be believed."

"When The Last Ship arrives at The Met, I'll have the rather surreal distinction of two shows featuring songs I've written playing on Broadway simultaneously. Moulin Rouge won't be around much longer, so try to see it while you still can."

"I know there's another show on Broadway involving a very large ship, so naturally, it had to be included here! What I find rather amusing is that Céline Dion and I share more history than most people know — we've both had residencies at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and I had the pleasure of presenting her with a GRAMMY back in 1997."

"A British musical comedy built on a stranger-than-fiction true story — what's not to love? If you're drawn to The Last Ship for its history, its heart, or simply its Britishness, I suspect Operation Mincemeat will suit you just as well. A perfect pairing for history buffs, devoted theatregoers, and anyone who appreciates the particular genius of British absurdity done brilliantly."

"For seven years now, this extraordinary musical has moved audiences - including myself - in ways that are genuinely rare. There's also a connection here that delights me: in The Last Ship, Shaggy plays a mythical figure known as The Ferryman — a character who, by nature and by purpose, would feel entirely at home in the Greek underworld of Hadestown. Two worlds, one river. Go and see both shows!"
