After four decades on the scene, Morrissey is bringing his own brand of mope rock to the Great White Way. His Broadway residency will take place over the course of seven nights, and it will offer a unique career retrospective.

All of the shows will be held at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater from May 2-11, shortly after the release of his covers album “California Son”, which is officially dropping on March 24. It is his first record of this kind, and includes renditions of songs by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Dionne Warwick.

Morrissey’s Broadway’s residency has been described as intimate yet exciting exploration of his expansive career. It’s expected to explore his early days, rise to stardom with the Smiths, future solo projects and everything that led to this upcoming new record.

“Another milestone in an already storied career, longtime fans of Moz will get a rare opportunity to see the star branch out into new territory and take the stage like never before,” reads the official statement about his Broadway’s show.
