Walter Kerr Theatre (Broadway)
219 West 48th St. New York, NY
Springsteen on Broadway is a solo acoustic performance written and performed by Bruce Springsteen under the lights of Broadway. It is an intimate night with Bruce, his guitar, a piano, and his stories.
"My vision of these shows is to make them as personal and intimate as possible. I chose Broadway for this project because it has the beautiful old theaters which seemed like the right setting for what I have in mind. In fact, with one or two exceptions, the 960 seats of the Walter Kerr Theatre is probably the smallest venue I’ve played in the last 40 years. My show is just me, the guitar, the piano and the words and music. Some of the show is spoken, some of it is sung, all of it together is in pursuit of my constant goal - to communicate something of value," says Springsteen.

'Springsteen on Broadway': A revelatory night with a rock 'n' roll legend
9 / 10
Broadway is one of the great equalizers in modern showbiz, its physical demands capable of humbling even the most seasoned entertainers. With Springsteen on Broadway, which opened Thursday, fans aren't just paying to see their hero at the intimate Walter Kerr Theatre, its 975 seats roughly the same capacity as Asbury Park's beloved Stone Pony. They're paying to see their hero tussle with a different kind of beast. And it's quite a show, as Springsteen delivers two hours and 15 songs worth of memories, and revelations, and - for some - plenty of tears.
Review: Bruce Springsteen's Broadway Show Is an Intimate Triumph
8 / 10
It's clear from the beginning that this is nothing like a typical latter-day Springsteen concert, where set lists can vary wildly from night to night and Bruce often has little to say between songs. There's no room for his usual athleticism here - Springsteen just shuffles a few feet between a piano on stage left and a microphone at center stage. The intensity is, instead, emotional, as Springsteen digs hard into the bedrock of his life story, and ours: childhood, religion, work, death. The performance is hard to categorize. It's not a concert; not a typical one-man-show; certainly not a Broadway musical. But it is one of the most compelling and profound shows by a rock musician in recent memory.
