Recorded in August 2022, the show features Sting’s chart-topping hits including “Every Breath You Take,” “Roxanne,” “Walking On The Moon” and more.
For Great Performances: Message in a Bottle, Kate Prince is director and choreographer, with Marcus Viner directing for screen. Music and lyrics are by Sting. Produced by Austin Shaw, Desara Bosnia and Floent Trioux, executive producers are Eliza Lumley, Suzanne Walker, Alice Webb, Joshua Andrews and Stuart Galbraith. A Sadler’s Wells and Universal Music UK production, Message in a Bottle is co-produced with Birmingham Hippodrome and The Lowry, Salford.
