Sting will return to the Broadway stage as a performer when he steps into the role of Jackie White in the acclaimed new musical The Last Ship, for which he made his Broadway debut as a composer earlier this season. Sting will assume the role beginning December 9 for four weeks through January 10, 2015 at the Neil Simon Theatre (250 W. 52 St). After making the announcement, both Sting and lead producer Jeffrey Seller sat down with the press and BroadwayWorld.com was there to get the scoop (and the pics!)!

In The Last Ship, Sting will portray Jackie White, the foreman of a shipyard who rallies his community of Wallsend to build one last ship meant to sail the world. A celebration of passion and hope, The Last Ship tells the story of a community determined to preserve the only way of life it has ever known....and a woman who must choose between the two men she loves.

On Thanksgiving Day, Sting will join Jimmy Nail and members of the cast of The Last Ship for a performance on NBC's telecast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

A 16-time Grammy Award winner, Sting has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist. He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has appeared in more than 15 films - including PLENTY, DUNE, LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and STORMY MONDAY. He made his Broadway debut as an actor in a 1989 revival of THE THREE PENNY OPERA as Mack the Knife. He has received a Golden Globe, an Emmy and three Oscar nominations.
