Sting Stage Show Receives Three Outer Circle Nominations

Sting’s musical The Last Ship may no longer be playing on Broadway but it has not been forgotten by the first award’s group to announce nominations.

The Outer Circle Awards nominations include three for the show including Outstanding New Broadway Musical, Outstanding Book For a Musical and Outstanding New Score. The last two awards include both Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. While the awards listings don’t list the people who wrote score, Sting alone wrote both music and lyrics and would receive the award if the show were to win. John Logan and Brian Yorkey wrote the book.

The shows three nominations were on the lower end of the list where the musical Something Rotten! received twelve, the revival of On the Twentieth Century pulled in nine and the new Broadway version of the film classic An American in Paris was given eight.

The Last Ship only had a few good weeks during its run when Sting actually joined the cast. The show ran from September 29 to October 25 in previews and officially played 105 performances between October 26 and January 24.
