  blows my goddamn mind how good the last ship is. The opener and reprise are among my absolute favorite Sting songs. They feel so large and epic.

  I cannot adequately express my awe of Sting's evolution as an artist. The songs in this cycle are moving ("So To Speak"), hopeful ("And Yet"), and heartbreaking ("A Practical Arrangement") and show what happens when a naturally gifted artist continues on his chosen path, past the success and glory, and works harder than ever thereafter to hone his craft. What the world wants is often not the best an artist can give, and too many trade their real potential for gold and step off the path and recline in comfort (as well they may). But the occasional, rare artist never stops learning and working and struggling to get better. Sting is such an artist and I'd wager his finest work is yet to come . . .

  Watching this performance takes me back to-being a young boy In my home townLiverpool uk.I wasn’t going to walk in my old man’s boots down a mine shaft in all that dust and danger.I choose to leave find safer pastures.Little did I know that at 65 .So to speak would be about me.This man produces material that opens your heart fills it full passion and love.One of a kind this man.That’s the way are from old industrial north west and north east of England.I have not long left now but one thing I know that sing will be singing at my funeral.

  I saw it in Salt Lake City and just by luck Sting was there, and holy cow he sat right in front of me! I could smell his cologne! The audience cheered and called bravo and clapped...the play was received very well here. People in Salt Lake appreciate culture and the fine arts. Every performance was sold out! I was moved by the cast and their energy! Can't stop listening to this!

  I love Sting's story about the Queen Mum.    He's so humble... (:

  Really love Sting’s childhood memory of being acknowledged by the queen. I had a very similar experience watching him during his Broken Music tour. Somehow I netted tickets just 6 rows from stage, and during one of the songs I was singing along and clapping overhead, lost in the experience, when Sting looked right at me and smiled. Star struck, I stopped clapping and gaped, and he nodded toward me and motioned for me to resume.... I’ll never forget that experience!
