Bruce Springsteen’s one-man show “Springsteen on Broadway” is set to land on Netflix just before year-end.

Based on Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography “Born to Run,” “Springsteen on Broadway” is a solo acoustic performance both written and performed by the Tony, Oscar and Grammy-winning artist.

Like theatergoers, Netflix viewers will be treated to a show featuring Springsteen, a guitar and piano, and his personal stories, along with an appearance by Patti Scialfa, a member of the E Street Band and Springsteen’s wife.

The show began Broadway previews on October 3, 2017, opened on October 12 of that year and was extended three times after its initial eight-week run.

It will launch on Netflix on December 15, the final night of Springsteen’s sold-out, 236-show run at Walter Kerr Theater. AB
