NEW YORK — To director Thom Zimny, the key element in his filmed version of Bruce Springsteen’s Broadway show was in the star’s eyes. The Netflix documentary makes its first appearance on the service early in the morning of Dec. 16, hours after the singer’s 236th and last performance of Springsteen on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theater. Bruce Springsteen, as captured in his new Netflix special Springsteen on Broadway, released Dec. 16, after his run on stage is done. Those are the moments, subtle enough to be missed by most of the live audience, that Zimny feels makes the Springsteen on Broadway film unique from the Springsteen on Broadway show. Zimny wanted to recreate when the lights go down on a sparse stage and Springsteen simply appears, a moment “that puts you on edge,” he said.
