Prince’s Purple Rain is officially heading to Broadway, bringing the music and story of the landmark 1984 film to New York’s Majestic Theatre. The production announcement confirms that previews will begin March 12, 2027, followed by an official opening on April 12. The Broadway plans follow the musical’s earlier run in Minneapolis, Prince’s hometown. The story centers on The Kid, a young musician navigating family conflict, competition and romance while trying to establish himself in the Minneapolis music scene. Saheem Ali will direct the Broadway production, with a book by Peter Duchan and choreography by Ebony Williams.
