Prince’s “Purple Rain” musical is scheduled to move from its Minneapolis production to Broadway, with producers announcing a 2027 run at the Majestic Theatre in Times Square. Multiple outlets report that the show will begin previews on March 12, 2027, ahead of an opening night on April 12, 2027. The musical is based on Prince’s 1984 film “Purple Rain,” and incorporates songs from the artist’s catalog associated with the project, including material from the Grammy-winning album of the same name. Several sources note that the Broadway version is not the same as the Minneapolis staging, with changes to the creative team and the production’s script and star or casting approach as part of a broader “makeover” effort. The Hollywood Reporter and other coverage say the production has added or replaced key creatives, including director Saheem Ali and book writer Peter Duchan. The New York Times describes the story adaptation as centered on a musician whose artistic path and personal life are strained by turmoil at home and at a club. Longtime Prince collaborators Bobby Z and Morris Hayes are also reported to be involved in music advisory roles.
