About the Show
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 U,” 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.
A visionary creative team reimagines Prince’s extraordinary world for the stage, with direction by Tony®-nominated director Saheem Ali (Buena Vista Social Club), acclaimed librettist and screenwriter Peter Duchan (Dogfight), Emmy®-winning choreographer Ebony Williams (Sneakerella, additional choreography for the Renaissance World Tour), a music team led by Tony Award winner Jason Michael Webb (MJ the Musical), and longtime Prince collaborators and bandmates Bobby Z and Morris Hayes as Prince music advisors.

About the Theatre
Majestic Theatre
245 W 44th St
New York, NY 10036
Originally constructed in 1927 by real estate moguls, the Chanin Brothers, the Majestic Theatre was a pivotal component of a tripartite theater complex that also encompassed the Royale (a medium-sized establishment) and the Theatre Masque, presently known as the John Golden (a more intimate setting). Operating as a spacious venue dedicated to musical productions, the Majestic harmonized with its counterparts, affording producers the flexibility to relocate shows based on their box-office performance and venue appropriateness. By 1930, ownership of all three theaters was transferred to the Shuberts by the Chanin Brothers.
Today, the Majestic Theatre, boasting 1,681 seats, stands as one of the illustrious 17 Broadway theaters under the aegis of the Shubert Organization.
