The concert film version of Springsteen on Broadway will premiere on Netflix December 15, the day the Broadway show closes after 236 performances.
Springsteen on Broadway is not Netflix’s first foray into Broadway films — last year Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s Broadway masterpiece Oh, Hello premiered on the service.
If you’re not going to be able to see Bruce Springsteen’s Broadway show before it closes in December — and chances are you won’t; it’s been sold out basically since it was announced — Netflix has you covered with the next best thing: Springsteen on Broadway is coming to the streaming service.
If Springsteen wins an Emmy for this — which he might next year — he’ll become the 13th person to achieve the EGOT.
