The new musical adaptation of Prince's beloved film and album, PURPLE RAIN, brings to life the electrifying, fictional journey of "The Kid," a talented but troubled young musician trying to make it in the Minneapolis club scene. As he contends with a tumultuous home life, a rival band, and an unexpected romance with an aspiring young singer, "The Kid" fights to find his voice and seize his moment in the spotlight.

After the new musical's world premiere, critics called PURPLE RAIN "a crucial, electric moment in musical theater history" (Minnesota Monthly) and "thrilling, electric entertainment! PURPLE RAIN transports us into Prince's world and imagination" (The Minneapolis Star Tribune).

Based on the original screenplay by Albert Magnoli and William Blinn, this new musical is directed by Tony Award® nominee Lileana Blain-Cruz. It features a book by Tony Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Branden Jacobs-Jenkins with music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations by Tony Award® winner Jason Michael Webb and choreography by Ebony Williams. Longtime Prince collaborators Bobby Z and Morris Hayes join the award-winning creative team as Prince Music Advisors.
