Bruce Springsteen will be reviving his solo show “Springsteen on Broadway” later this month. To get a seat, all members of the audience will need to prove they are fully vaccinated, according to Jujamcyn Theatre, which will host the St. James Revival Theater.
“I loved doing Springsteen on Broadway, and I’m thrilled to have been asked to re-run the show as part of the Broadway reopening,” Springsteen said in a statement.
It will be one of the first productions to play The Great White Way since the Covid-19 pandemic shut down all shows and left theaters empty more than a year ago. Many of the shows that have already announced reopenings are scheduled for late summer or early fall.
“Springsteen on Broadway” originally played for 236 shows in 2017 and 2018, and Springsteen scored a Special Tony Award. In it, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer scatters stories about his life among the songs, drawn from his 2016 autobiography “Born to Run.”
This time, though, all concert attendees must be fully vaccinated, which means it’s been at least 14 days since their second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine (or first if they’ve received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine). The only exception is for children under 16, who must be accompanied by fully vaccinated adults and provide evidence of a negative Covid-19 test.
Jujamcyn said it has developed a theater ventilation system, and employees are following “strict cleaning and sanitation protocols.” Jujamcyn did not say whether fans will be required to wear masks and stay away from each other or if they plan to sell every seat, which should ease the financial pressure that worries producers and theater owners when talks about reopening begin. Prevention confirmed that fully vaccinated people can gather indoors without social distancing or wearing masks. Springsteen spent the first few months of 2021 gasping with former President Barack Obama on Spotify’s podcast, “Rebel: Born in the USA” a Broadway soft spot. When he kissed his own Tony in 2018, he described his time on stage as “one of the most exciting things I’ve probably experienced.” The show will open on Saturday, June 26th. “Springsteen on Broadway” tickets are on sale Thursday at 12 p.m. ET and prices range from $75 to $850 per Jujamcyn. For Springsteen fans who can’t afford a trip to Broadway, the original production airs on Netflix as a prom movie. .
