A Broadway version of "Purple Rain" is officially on the way. The stage adaptation of Prince's 1984 cult classic film is scheduled to debut in 2027, bringing one of the artist's most recognizable titles to a major New York theater production.
According to the announcement, the musical will play the Majestic Theatre. Previews are set to begin on March 12, marking the first public performances ahead of the production's full Broadway run.
The move turns a film long associated with Prince's screen presence and music into a live stage event for Broadway audiences. Because "Purple Rain" remains a defining title in Prince's legacy, the adaptation is likely to draw attention from both theater fans and longtime admirers of the singer's work.
With the Majestic lined up as its home, the upcoming production adds another high-profile music-based title to Broadway's future schedule. More details about the show are expected as its 2027 launch approaches.
