In a statement released before his first performance on Broadway, Springsteen said he wanted the show to be “as personal and intimate as possible.” He said: “I chose Broadway for this project because it has the beautiful old theatres, which seemed like the right setting for what I have in mind.

“In fact, with one or two exceptions, the 960 seats of the Walter Kerr Theatre is probably the smallest venue I’ve played in the last 40 years.”

The musician dedicated his first performance of Springsteen On Broadway to the late Tom Petty, who died just two days before Springsteen’s Broadway show began its run.

Recently, Springsteen seemingly confirmed that he has a new record “coming out soon”. He was speaking recently at an event where he became the eighth recipient of the Woody Guthrie Prize.

At the event, Springsteen spoke about the influence of California on his sound, at which point he revealed that the west coast state was central to his next record.

“California was an enormous influence on some of my most topical writing through my ‘90s, 2000s and even now,” Springsteen said. “We have a record coming out soon that’s set largely in the West.”

It will be his first release since 2020’s ‘Letter To You’, which followed on from 2019’s ‘Western Stars’, a nod to the music of the American West.
