About

Experience Prince’s legacy live on stage at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre in PURPLE RAIN, the electrifying new musical based on the Grammy®-winning album and Oscar®-winning film, featuring over 20 of his iconic hits, including “When Doves Cry,” “I Would Die 4 U,” "Take Me with You," and "The Beautiful Ones."

Minneapolis, 1984. A new era of music television is creating overnight stars. A magnetic young performer known as “The Kid” seems like the perfect frontman to lead his bandmates to stardom. But when his past threatens everything he's built, he’ll have to sing his way out of the darkness and into the spotlight where he belongs. The stage adaptation of PURPLE RAIN features music by Prince, direction by Tony®️-nominated director Saheem Ali (Buena Vista Social Club), a book by playwright and screenwriter Peter Duchan (Dogfight), a music team led by Tony®️ Award winner Jason Michael Webb (MJ the Musical), and choreography by Emmy®️ Award winner Ebony Williams (Sneakerella; additional choreography for the Renaissance World Tour). Bobby Z and Morris Hayes, both of whom worked with Prince for years as bandmates and musical collaborators, serve the production as Music Advisers.
