“23 years I’ve been working professionally in this space. And within that time, and around that time, I’ve worn many hats, spent 15 years in LA in the music scene. And of course, everyone in the music scene is deeply inspired by this guy. It’s my favorite thing to say, he’s everyone’s favorite artist, and every artist’s favorite artist, every musician’s favorite musician. He’s been such a guiding light for all of us for so many years.” 

Featuring over 20 of Prince’s iconic hits, including “When Doves Cry,” “I Would Die 4 U,” “Take Me with  You,” and “The Beautiful Ones,” Purple Rain is an electrifying new musical based on the Grammy- winning album and Oscar-winning film.
