Bruce Springsteen to Make Broadway Debut at the Walter Kerr - November 2017

For 8-weeks, the rock legend will perform a 'pared-down' version of the show he normally presents at huge stadiums and arenas across the country.

There is speculation that this fall run will lead to a more ambitious Broadway project -- a new musical inspired by Springsteen's memoir, BORN TO RUN.

After I saw Hedwig, I began to wonder how Pink Floyd's The Wall would do on Broadway.

Tickets are going to be insane for this! With 5 shows a week, it'll be about 40,000 seats for the entire run.... he sells out Melife Stadium in a few hours and that holds 80,000!

Why aren't they charging him rent?

Did you read the article? They know they'll more than make up for it on alcohol sales. I would also speculate that should the full scale Born to Run musical come to fruition, there's probably a deal in place for it to play a Jujamcyn house.

Or read the article before asking questions?!

Will Bruce stagedoor on two-show days?!

Legitimately just spit out my drink. Hilarious.

Question for those like Whizzer and anyone else who sees everything on Broadway, do you bother to go see stuff like this? I've been trying to see everything but I always skip these types of things and the one person shows like Tyson and Moore unless it's someone I actually wanna see.

And why is it bizarre? Musicians have been doing Broadway engagements for decades. The appeal is the theater setting.

How many bathrooms at the Kerr? All that alcohol scares me

How much are these tickets going to be "scalped" for? Will it beat "Hamilton" prices? - lol

I feel like, yeah, sure the Marquis? Sure. That'd make sense. But this is like a historic, little play house. And sure, I know his set and production will be stripped down, but still. It's a concert. People are going to want to have fun, have drinks. I mean, at the least the shows I've been to, you get drinks throughout the show, etc.

While a gorgeous theater, maybe not the best one suited for a rock concert...
