More Info
Springsteen on Broadway was a concert residency by Bruce Springsteen held at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York City. The residency consisted of Springsteen performing five shows a week, Tuesday through Saturday. Preview performances began on October 3, 2017 followed by the official opening on October 12, 2017. The run was originally expected to conclude on November 26, 2017; however, due to high demand for tickets and issues with scalpers, additional dates were added through June 30, 2018. The show was extended a second time on March 20, 2018, extending the run through December 15, 2018.
The New York Times said "as portraits of artists go, there may never have been anything as real – and beautiful – on Broadway". Rolling Stone noted "it is one of the most compelling and profound shows by a rock musician in recent memory". The Guardian observed "there's a fragility and a new light cast on the songs and his relationship with Scialfa, as if he stands in her emotional shadow". Variety reported the show "is as much a self-made monument to its master's vision and hurricane-force ambition as it is to his life and career, and it bears the mark of a self-made man who’ll write his own history".
On June 10, 2018, Springsteen received a special Tony Award for Springsteen on Broadway.
