A stage adaptation of Purple Rain will make its Broadway debut in March 2027. The musical is based on Prince’s career-defining 1984 film of the same name. In the semi-autobiographical film, Prince plays a young performer known as “The Kid,” who tries to lead his band to success while navigating family turmoil, a rival singer, and a budding romantic interest. Prince wrote all the Oscar-winning songs featured in the musical, including “When Doves Cry,” “I Would Die 4 U,” “Take Me with You,” and “Purple Rain.” Casting has not been announced yet for the revamped Broadway show.
