Springsteen on Broadway, an intimate solo concert from 20-time Grammy Award-winning rock legend Bruce Springsteen, ends its year-long Broadway run December 15. Springsteen was honored with a Special Tony Award for his unprecedented, sold-out run, which opened in October 2017 at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
Originally billed as an eight-week, limited engagement, the show extended its sold out run three times.
Built around Springsteen's 2016 memoir Born to Run, the show is billed as a solo show but frequently features a guest appearance by Springsteen's wife and fellow musician Patti Scialfa.
Springsteen on Broadway was filmed live at the Walter Kerr Theatre and will premiere on Netflix December 16. A live album was released December 14.
鈥淭he purpose of the film is to bring this incredibly intimate show to Bruce鈥檚 entire audience intact and complete,鈥� said Jon Landau, manager to Springsteen, in a statement. 鈥淚n addition to its many other virtues, Netflix has provided for a simultaneous worldwide release which is particularly important for our massive international audience. Ted Sarandos and the entire company鈥檚 support has been a perfect match for Bruce鈥檚 personal commitment to the filmed version of Springsteen on Broadway.鈥�
