POPULAR

On June 2, Sting and Shaggy performed on O&M’s rooftop to the Broadway community to celebrate their New York return of THE LAST SHIP, beginning performances at the Met next week. The pair performed "All This Time" and "The Last Ship." Check out the video here!

As previously announced, Sting will star in a newly adapted version of his musical The Last Ship for nine performances at the Metropolitan Opera House from June 9–14, 2026.

This reimagined production features a new book by Barney Norris and new and revised songs by Sting, expanding on the show’s acclaimed, Tony Award–nominated score. Sting will portray Jackie White, the shipyard foreman at the story’s center, with reggae icon and longtime collaborator Shaggy co-starring as the Ferryman. Presented by Karl Sydow and directed by Leo Warner , this strictly limited engagement follows an international series of multi-night runs in Amsterdam, Paris, and Brisbane.

Rooted in his own childhood in the British shipbuilding town of Wallsend, The Last Ship tells the story of a community of shipbuilders in the northeast of England, faced with the closure of their shipyard—the heart of their existence.

The creative team for this new production features set and video design by 59 Studio ( Jenny Melville , Matt Taylor , and Ben Pearcy ), choreography by Rebecca Howell , costume design by Loren Elstein , lighting design by Adam Bassett , and sound design by Tom Gibbons .

Taking a break from his STING 3.0 world concert touring schedule, Sting has dedicated a few months next year to taking The Last Ship to cities across the globe, including Amsterdam, Paris, Brisbane, and New York. Sting’s songs—such as “Island of Souls,” “All This Time,” and “When We Dance”—are woven into the performance in a fully stage production featuring a company of 48 artists, musicians, and choristers.
