Neil Simon Theatre

Sting will be going down with his ship.

Reclaiming the past, while at the same time letting go of it, is the central theme in the often rousing, sometimes touching “The Last Ship” (music and lyrics by Sting, book by John Logan and Brian Yorkey), the new Broadway musical now anchored at the Neil Simon Theatre.

Norbert Leo Butz throws himself wholeheartedly into the role of a gleeful spinner of tall tales in the heartwarming musical “Big Fish.”
