Purple Reign: Prince’s Iconic ‘Purple Rain’ Set To Make Theatrical Debut!

Written by on 9 Ιανουαρίου 2024


Prepare for a musical spectacle like never before as the legendary Purple Rain by Prince is set to grace the stage in its first-ever theatrical adaptation.

Bringing to life the magic of Albert Magnoli and William Blinn’s 1984 cinematic masterpiece, infused with the soulful music and lyrics of Prince, this groundbreaking musical will be directed by Tony nominee Lileana Blain-Cruz. Known for her recent success with Lincoln Center’s revival of The Skin of Our Teeth, Blain-Cruz is poised to create a mesmerizing theatrical experience.

Adding to the brilliance is Pulitzer finalist Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, the creative mind behind the Broadway hit Appropriate, who will craft an accompanying book to enhance the narrative. The fusion of Jacobs-Jenkins’ storytelling prowess with Prince’s timeless melodies promises an unforgettable journey through music and theater.
