Shows · The Last Ship

Gideon Fletcher returns to his hometown of Wallsend, a shipbuilding community in northern England, after years away. He finds the shipyard threatened with closure and must confront the life he left behind — including the woman he abandoned and their teenage son. When the workers decide to build one last ship as an act of defiance, Gideon must choose between running again or joining the community he once rejected.

The Scottsboro Boys (2010), Follies (the 2011 Broadway revival), The Last Ship (2014), and The Visit (2015) quickly closed, and the critically acclaimed Grey Gardens (2006) could manage no more than nine months of performances. book:the-complete-book-of-1990s-broadway-musicals-dan-dietz-paxton-mcnallie-2016-rowm#p13

Sadly, few serious musicals for adults were successful, and so A Catered Affair (2008), The Scottsboro Boys (2010), The Last Ship (2014), and The Visit (2015) quickly floundered; others such as Passion and Grey Gardens (2006) ran for only a few months book:the-complete-book-of-1990s-broadway-musicals-dan-dietz-paxton-mcnallie-2016-rowm#p172
