Inimitable tantric musician, and 16-time Grammy Award winner Sting brings elements of his own childhood to bear in this musical of his own design, set in an English seafaring town that operates around the local shipyard and follows Gideon Fletcher, a man who left home to see the world and returns fourteen years later to find that the future of the shipyard is in danger and his childhood sweetheart engaged to another man. The shipyard’s workers decide to take their fate into their own hands and build a towering representation of the shared dream that has defined their existence, and Gideon realizes that in his desire to experience the world, he forgot to experience home.
Two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Wicked) direct, the book by Tony Award winner John Logan (Red) and Pulitzer Prize winner Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal) and choreography by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once)
