Bruce Springsteen To Play Broadway!
Yea…this fall!
Since he’s not the type to do a Vegas residency, he’s taking the ‘show’ to Broadway!
It’s true! Bruce will make “…his Broadway debut at the Walter Kerr Theatre for an eight-week run in the fall…” per the NYPost.
Expect a “a pared-down version of the set he usually performs in huge arenas and stadiums all over the world.”

Bruce will play to an audience (which will no doubt sell out every night) of 975, and will do 5 gigs a week.
On top of this smaller venue and more intimate atmosphere, “Jujamcyn Theaters, which owns the Kerr, gave him a sweetheart deal he couldn’t refuse: no rent for the eight weeks.”
The theatre’s been closed since May and his gigs will “help keep the lights on.”
Is there an ulterior motive? Maybe. Some are speculating that he’d like to sell his best-selling memoir, “Born To Run,” into a musical, ala “Jersey Boys” or “Beautiful: the Carole King Musical.”
