Message In A Bottle

ABOUT THE SHOW

Initially inspired by Sting’s track, Desert Rose, Message In A Bottle is an uplifting and poignant tale of humanity and hope that reflects on salient global tropes, including displacement, immigration and survival, using high-energy footwork, exhilarating dance styles and breath-taking athleticism.

This is the latest stage work from Kate Prince set to many of Sting’s most iconic hits, including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne and Fields Of Gold. The production features the astonishing talents of dance storytelling powerhouse ZooNation and brings together a world-class award-winning creative team, including new musical arrangements by Alex Lacamoire (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen).

This hit production opened at Sadler’s Wells The Peacock theatre in the West End in January 2020 receiving rave reviews, and went on to tour internationally.

A Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music UK Production. Co-produced by Birmingham Hippodrome and The Lowry, Salford. Research and development supported by The MOVEment.
