Broadway Grosses: Bruce Springsteen Is 'Born to Run' on the Great White Way

The fall Broadway season has kicked off with a one-of-a-kind treat. Music icon Bruce Springsteen opened a sensational concert engagement, aptly titled Springsteen on Broadway, at the Walter Kerr Theatre on October 12 and audiences clearly approve. In just a five-performance week at the Kerr, Springsteen on Broadway brought in a gross of $1,924,817.50, filling the theater to 100.00% capacity. Springsteen on Broadway has already been extended through February 3, 2018, so be sure to take advantage of the chance to see the legendary hitmaker before his Broadway reign concludes.
