The singer-songwriter will open his
"Springsteen on Broadway" one man show on June 27 for a limited
summer run until Sept. 4, producers announced on Monday.
Audience members must provide proof of full COVID-19
vaccinations to attend.
“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,” Springsteen said in a statement.
The "Born to Run" singer first opened his show, a blend of
personal stories and selected songs played on guitar and piano,
to sold out audiences on Broadway from October 2017 until
December 2018.
Broadway shows have been shuttered since March 2020 because of
the pandemic but many have recently announced reopening dates
starting in August and September.
Most productions are still working out COVID-19 and masking
protocols for cast, crew and audiences members but Springsteen's
is thought to be the first to state that vaccinations will be
mandatory for audiences.
Proceeds from the opening night of Springsteen's show will go to
four charities providing food and other pandemic relief for
local people in New York and the singer's home state of New
Jersey.
