Prince musical Purple Rain is set to premiere in 2025 in the late pop superstar's hometown of Minneapolis before moving to Broadway
The musical adaptation of Prince's iconic album and film, Purple Rain, is set to premiere in his hometown of Minneapolis next year.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by producer Orin Wolf in a joint statement with former Prince manager and attorney L. Londell McMillan and Founder & CEO of Primary Wave Music Larry Mestel. Lileana Blain-Cruz will direct the show, which tells the fictional story of The Kid, an up-and-coming rock musician in the Minneapolis club scene, as he juggles with a stormy home environment, a rival band, and a new romance. The autopsy report also revealed that the 5ft 3in singer weighed just 112lbs at the time of his death, and that he was dressed entirely in black (cap, pants, shirt, socks and boxer briefs) when his unresponsive body was discovered on April 21 inside an elevator at his Paisley Park estate just outside Minneapolis, Minnesota.
