Bruce Springsteen has announced plans for “Springsteen on Broadway, ” a new solo show that will chronicle his life and music.
“I wanted to do some shows that were as personal and as intimate as possible, ” he said . “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.”
The show marks Springsteen’s Broadway debut.
Performances begin October 3, with an official opening on October 12. Springsteen is scheduled to perform five shows a week through November 26.
“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, ” he said. “All of it together is in pursuit of my constant goal to provide an entertaining evening and to communicate something of value.”
Tickets go on sale August 30.
