Sting's new musical The Last Ship has found a nice berth on Broadway.
Producers say the show - inspired by Sting's memories of growing up in a shipbuilding community in northeast England - will start performances on September 30 at the Neil Simon Theatre.
Before coming to Broadway, The Last Ship will make its world premiere in June at Chicago's Bank of America Theatre.
The story centres on a man from a seafaring town who travels the world for 14 years only to return to find the shipyard's future in grave danger and his sweetheart engaged to someone else.
The singer-songwriter last year released a CD titled The Last Ship with some songs that may make it onstage.
