That Place Where The Neon Lights Are Bright

 They say that I won't last too long on Broadway

I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say.

But they're dead wrong I know they are

'Cause I can play this here guitar

And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway. 

"On Broadway"

-George Benson 

In case you missed yesterday's announcement (and if you care not, I am quite confident you have at least an inkling just how little I care about your position), the Poet Laureate of the Jersey Shore is crossing the river from the Jersey side and reprising Springsteen on Broadway.

‘Springsteen On Broadway’ Returns For Limited Summer Run At The St. James Theatre

Bruce Springsteen will return to Broadway this summer for a limited run of Springsteen on Broadway performances at Jujamcyn’s St. James Theatre. Shows begin Saturday June 26, with additional performances taking place through September 4.

Tickets for Springsteen on Broadway will go on sale Thursday, June 10 at 12pm ET through the show’s official ticketing provider SeatGeek. See a full list of performances and information on purchasing tickets HERE.

“I loved doing Springsteen on Broadway and I’m thrilled to have been asked to reprise the show as part of the reopening of Broadway,” said Bruce.

Proceeds from Opening Night of Springsteen on Broadway at the St. James Theatre will be donated to a group of local New York and New Jersey charities including the Boys and Girls Club of Monmouth County, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Food Bank for New York City, Fulfill (Monmouth & Ocean Counties Foodbank), Long Island Cares, NJ Pandemic Relief Fund and The Actor’s Fund.

The creative team for Springsteen on Broadway includes Heather Wolensky (scenic design), Natasha Katz (lighting design) and Brian Ronan (sound design).

Based on his worldwide best-selling autobiography Born to Run, Springsteen on Broadway is a unique evening with Bruce, his guitar, a piano, and his very personal stories. The show’s original run included 236 sold-out performances at Jujamcyn’s Walter Kerr Theatre, beginning in October 2017 and concluding in December 2018. Springsteen earned a Special Tony Award for the performances, which were later adapted into a film and a soundtrack album.

Audience members will be required to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination in order to enter the theater. For more information, visit jujamcyn.com/springsteenFAQ.
