See, the singer-songwriter has answered the SOS of the musical The Last Ship – which was inspired by his experiences growing up in the shipbuilding industry of Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, and for which he wrote the music and lyrics – and will join the show for a month-long limited engagement on Dec. 9.
Ergo his appearance with the cast during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Obviously, the idea is to boost the show’s so-so box office receipts by giving audiences more of a reason to buy tickets.
But Sting cautions it’s not, “like I’ve flown in from Planet Rock Star to save the day,” for this is a show he’s been working on for five years that he loves and that he wants to not only honor but also see thrive.
Break a leg then, dude!
