Overview
- Producers announced Monday that previews will begin March 12, 2027, with an official opening on April 12 at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre.
- The Broadway staging replaces the original Minneapolis directing and writing leads with Saheem Ali as director and Peter Duchan as book writer after the 2025 world premiere was reworked following mixed reviews.
- The show will feature more than 20 Prince songs, including “When Doves Cry,” “I Would Die 4 U,” “Take Me with You,” and “The Beautiful Ones,” with Jason Michael Webb leading the music team and Bobby Z and Morris Hayes serving as music advisers.
- Casting has not been announced and producers say tickets will go on sale in September, with the TRC Company handling casting and a full design team already named.
- The production builds on the 1984 film and landmark soundtrack that made Prince a global star and aims to center live, high-caliber musical performance as the main engine of the theatrical experience.
