The cast of Swept Away, the about to-open Broadway musical that follows four whalers on an odyssey of survival and salvation, are a tight crew. They first came together over several COVID-interrupted workshops then toured the musical through regional theaters—Berkeley in 2022, then a year later at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC. Along the way they’d often find themselves imagining how they would fare on a whaling ship, and how they’d face what their characters face. “Discussions in the rehearsal room,” says John Gallagher Jr., “about, you know, what would you do….”
Gallagher plays the first mate on a ship that leaves New Bedford, Massachusetts, sometime around 1888, and as he speaks, he is sitting down for coffee not far from the calm waters of New York Harbor, the sun shining, the faint smell of salt air just beyond our espressos. With him is Wayne Duvall, who plays the ship’s captain, and Stark Sands, playing one of two brothers in the musical, each at sea for the first time. “You go to your imagination about what are the choices you would make,” Duvall says.
