it was ill advised and too ambitious to launch on Broadway, far too clever for that clientelle. So someone made a huge judgemental error and it may have beeen G S himself who got carried away with his own image of self importance I too believe it should have been nurtured established in the Uk and then the West End. It surpasses all other west end musicals in quality of musical and lyrical material Great songs , well sung , catchy, appealing to emotions. I loved it from last year , I have the de luxe. The Ballad of the Great Eastern , though not listed on the show is a masterpiece of a folk song with challenging musical arrangement . It doesnt matter whether you 'like 'Sting or not , the songs are top notch Beats Les Mis anytime. stuff the 'traddies' they are too narrow minded to appreciate it The Last Ship must rule the waves, it must not sink
