Story
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

Addiction, pain, and explosive tempers are not exactly what you’d call the ingredients for a side-splitting comedy. Yet Steven Adly Guiguis has created a profane, hilarious masterpiece that earned a "hatful" of theatrical accolades in 2011, including a Drama Desk award for Outstanding Actor in a Play for Bobby Cannavale. Stars the original Broadway cast: Chris Rock, Bobby Canavale, Annabella Sciorra, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Yul Vazquez.

As an unnamed but unforgettable woman muses on her life—from meet cute to marriage and parenthood—her recollections inexorably build to a devastating truth. In this shattering performance, Carey Mulligan, star of the critically lauded drama An Education, captivates audiences with playwright Dennis Kelly’s harrowing ruminations on family, ambition, gender, and violence.

The Boss demonstrates his strong work ethic and dedication to excellence as he tells his story.
- By Tim on 12-21-16
Growing up in New Jersey it’s not too much of a stretch to say that Bruce Springsteen was something of a spiritual force. His voice is synonymous with a powerful sense of place, and it bears a rugged, scrappy idealism that can make you feel patriotic and subversive at the same time. That’s what makes this autobiography, written and performed by The Boss himself, nothing less than magical. It’s not simply a story of his path to success or a philosophy of greatness, but a marathon concert tell-all wherein he confronts demons of mental illness, poverty, and familial strife. It is nostalgic for a simpler time, but urgent in its display of discipline and individuality. Ultimately, Bruce delivers with this audiobook what he has done for nearly five decades with his music: a celebration of the commonplace and the struggles of American life with candor, imagination, and purpose.

The Storytelling Magic of Springsteen on Broadway
Springsteen on Broadway was one of the most personally touching shows I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a fan of The Boss since 1984 when I was a twelve-year-old girl. Going to twelve concerts prior to his show on broadway set me up for the glory I anticipated. Image may contain: Donna Snyder-Lucas, smiling Honestly, I never thought I’d get to go, but it worked out for my 21st wedding anniversary: October 11, 2018. I scored one ticket and my beloved (who enjoyed The Boss with me several concerts prior) waited in a NYC pub while I sat still and laughed, sobbed, and super-fanned Bruce in the quietest way possible. My scarf caught six different waves of tears from this rockstar who disrobed his interior heart and soul in front of each of us. Anytime, I’ve seen him perform, I felt like there were times he was speaking directly to me. During this show, he spoke to me the entire time. That’s a transcendence power to touch the listener so intimately and personally. Bruce pleaded with his audience to understand that he’s a fraud, and what he does is an act, like magic. The funny thing is, we, fans should already know that. We know he’s a man, a rockstar, a band leader, a dad, a husband, a mess up, a perfectly imperfect guy… We understand his roles and we still show up for his role call. He’s a storyteller who has embellished his lyrics with: fact and fiction, humor and drama, romance and heartache, misery and glory, devils and dust, ghosts and God. Bruce is my storytelling hero. His words move me. His loyalty stuns me. His consistency keeps me. His depressions connects me. His healing energizes me. His love for others and himself includes me. Bruce is an almighty performer, actor, mentor, sinner, savior, singer…. He reveals great losses but shares how he overcomes and keeps going. That’s a universal magic trick from a genuine real deal guy, not a fraud. He gets it… he knows his place in this world, currently. He has served many with his God given talents and stamina to keep reinventing his storytelling skills. Springsteen on Broadway was basically the musical dramatization of his 2016 autobiography Born to Run. I’ve read and listened to the book numerous times before and after seeing him perform the book, talking, singing, and reflecting on his life in this venue. The show is now over and currently available on for your viewing and listening pleasure via Audible (best deal), DVD, CD, MP3, and Netflix. For the masses who weren’t able to see Springsteen on Broadway in person, I hope you can put yourself in that Walter Kerr Theater and imagine the power of song, saints, silence, and Springsteen that poured out of him during his confessional production in which he asks for acceptance, love, and forgiveness. He’s a man who reminds us and himself that , “It ain’t no sin to believe you’re alive.”

Bruce’s Story
Really enjoyed Bruce telling his life story the way he remembered it! Growing up in a blue collar neighborhood, how he got his first guitar at 7 years old, how he began entertaining people, and his relationship with Clarence! It was a once in a life time relationship. He is a very spiritual man with real, honest feelings about the world and solutions to some of the problems. The USA is blessed to have him living here. A really good person!!!

Loved feeling his love of music
It warms my heart to hear him tell his stories and sing his songs. Nebraska got me through so many rough times, and the rest of his music helped me through life. Makes me wish I had gone to see him in concert, either as a kid, or even on Broadway. Maybe one day....

An Intimate Audience With The Boss
Fans of Bruce Springsteen often feel as if he is speaking directly and solely to them when he talks, and when he sings — and in this Broadway show, he does just that. It is intimate and personal, it’s raw and sacred. It’s Bruce, and it’s all you ever wanted. I will visit with Bruce again, from time to time, and be reminded of just how magical and talented he is — and be grateful.
