'ā€THE LAST SHIP' - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED says the Chicago Sun-Times...
They are calling it a new Broadway musical. But that is a misnomer. Sting's "The Last Ship," which received its much-anticipated world premiere in Chicago on Wednesday night, is an old-fashioned grand opera of the most eloquent sort - awash in both turbulent emotions and intimate dramatic gestures.
