SONGWRITING GREAT; SHOW BLEAK

The songwriting was really the highlight of this show for me; I’ve always enjoyed the album and the minimalist instrumentation on stage brought out the power of Sting’s ability to craft a great melody. The show, portraying the ship builder community, to me felt very heavy, dreary, and was never truly uplifting. By the second act I was pretty disconnected and was just waiting for the next song. Having known the album beforehand, I felt the song choice was odd since there was songs on the album I was waiting to hear but did not, and they decided to pepper in songs from Stings Soul Cages era. While “All This Time” and “When we Dance” are AMAZING songs, they felt out of place in the play and it bugged me to hear them “broadway-ized”. The Last Ship has great music written for it, keep it in the show! Being a big fan of Stings work this show was worth it for me but as far as a show goes I was disappointed.

MEDIOCRE AT BEST

Overall a long meandering show that tries hard and has a couple of standout performances. If you are seeing this because you are a big Sting fan, you will be disappointed. He isn’t a lead character and he does not sing any solos. He is not onstage for long periods of time and plays a character that is sick so he doesn’t come out with booming vocals. Overall it was a nice night out but we could have done a lot more entertaining things with our $400

NO FLOW WHATSOEVER

Honestly this could well be the worst musical theatre production I have ever been to (and yes, I go to many, and also yes, I do like Sting!). There was no fluidity in the scenes, the songs, the multitude of differing accents. There were the expected predictable caricature characters (a “drunk Davey”....what a surprise). I wish I had seen and felt what other people were apparently seeing and feeling, while watching the same production. So many reviews are polar opposite, with none of us wrong. So individual, subjective.

SLOW, BORING...DISAPPOINTING

The storyline is dull and mostly predicatable. Stings voice is not good...he sounds his age. The cast is fine....meh to be more precise. Absolutely nothing special about this show at all
