Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Springsteen On Broadway’ Coming To Netflix

Bruce Springsteen is expected to conclude a sold out run of 236 Springsteen On Broadway concerts at Jujamcyn’s Walter Kerr Theatre in New York City on December 15. That same day a film featuring his historic one man show will premiere on Netflix.

The Boss tells tales from his legendary career and performs stripped-down renditions of classic songs over the course of each Springsteen On Broadway show. Bruce was recently awarded a special Tony Award for Springsteen On Broadway, which typically features a special appearance from Patti Scialfa.

“We are thrilled to bring Bruce Springsteen — a master storyteller, humanitarian and voice of the everyman — to Netflix in this historic one man show. This groundbreaking experience defies the boundaries of theater, concerts and film and will give our global audience an intimate look at one of the biggest cultural icons of our time,” said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos in a statement. “The purpose of the film is to bring this incredibly intimate show to Bruce’s entire audience intact and complete. In 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’s support has been a perfect match for Bruce’s personal commitment to the filmed version of Springsteen on Broadway,” added Bruce’s manager Jon Landau.

The New Jersey native began the landmark run in October of 2016. Springsteen On Broadway has since been extended twice with December 15 standing as the current end date.
