, and is slated to play Los Angeles through Feb. 16, followed by visits to San Francisco; Washington, DC; St. Paul, Minn.; and Detroit. The show, with almost all new music and lyrics by Sting, made its Broadway premiere in 2014. And, while Sting was not part of the original cast of actors onstage on Broadway, he’s since become a recurring feature in the show in its subsequent incarnations, something that he’s delighted in.
I never intended to be in this play. I wrote it for actors other than myself. It's odd, that once I was asked to be in it -- because, quite frankly, awill sell more tickets than someone who isn't a name -- and it's just the commercial reality. So I agreed to do it, and then, that worked. We started to sell tickets. And then once I got my feet wet I realized that I was enjoying it and could bring even more of myself into this character which I'd created myself.
On if during the initial stages of creating the show, did anyone suggest setting the story to Sting's catalog of hits, instead of newly written material? Well, it's being performed at Sadler's Wells , which is one of the most famous dance companies in Britain. Very historic. And for me, dance is a very abstract art form. So they're using my music to create a story, but in a much more abstract way than it would be if there was dialogue, like a play. And so I was intrigued by that, because it's not an area I know very much about. And, really, they've been given carte blanche to do whatever they want with my music.
Well, first of all when I heard it, I recognized something very special in that interpolation. I thought it was a wonderful interpretation, interpolation. And so of course I was supportive of it. I never met the man, and was horrified when he died so unnecessarily and so tragically. I think he was a great great talent and we miss him. I'd love to have worked with him. But as a tribute we sing his song as part of the original ‘Shape of My Heart.’ I think they fit together beautifully.
