Bruce Springsteen on Broadway: Backstage with the Boss

What’s in Bruce Springsteen’s dressing room at the Water Kerr Theatre on Broadway?

A picture of John Lennon, an American flag and a cake. The cake is a celebratory one for his hit play “Springsteen on Broadway” being bestowed a Special Tony Award that recognizes “a once-in-a-lifetime theatre going experience for the Broadway stage, allowing fans an intimate look at a music idol,” according to the Tonys.

The cake has “Springsteen on Broadway Walter Kerr Theatre New York City” written on it, in a font design that mimics the marquee of Kerr.

A picture of Springsteen holding the cake was shared by Team Springsteen late Wednesday, May 2, a day after the Tony announcement. It’s the latest of four recent postings that’s been giving fans a sneak peak at the Boss’ dressing room and backstage area at the Kerr.

A short film of the backstage was posted on Monday, May 1, after Tony announcement. It shows the Boss exiting his dressing room, kissing wife Patti Scialfa and descending stairs to the Kerr stage while the show’s acoustic version of “Thunder Road” plays. The effect is dreamy and focused.

It also shows Springsteen signing autographs while entering the Kerr, which has become a part of the show ritual on 48th Street.

Two weeks ago, Team Springsteen posted a portrait of the Boss in his dressing room at the Kerr taken by photographer Danny Clinch. Springsteen is sitting, holding an acoustic Takamine guitar, while strung and mirror lights frame the moment. There’s an American flag and a copy of Bob Gruen’s famous John Lennon “New York City” portrait on the wall.

The Clinch image alights with creative energy. Overall, the backstage, as depicted in the postings, is a bit cramped and worn, but also seething with possibility.

In early April, on the 50th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jr, a short video of Springsteen backstage making a statement on the moment was posted.

“The dream still lives,” Springsteen says. “Martin had a beautiful quote, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ My dream is to live in the world where that justice has come to fruition.”

Springsteen quotes King each night in “Springsteen on Broadway.”

There is a raffle underway that includes two second row tickets to a “Springsteen on Broadway” performance, and a trip backstage to see the Boss. Proceeds raised will benefit the Kristen Ann Carr Fund, which raises funds for research and treatment of sarcoma. Kristen, the daughter of rock journalist Dave Marsh and Bruce Springsteen co-manager Barbara Carr, died of the disease in 1993 at the age of 21.
