Forty years after its release, Purple Rain is bound for Broadway.

On Monday, theater producer Orin Wolf confirmed plans to adapt Princes seminal 1984 film and album for the stage. The show follows an up-and-coming rock musician in the Minneapolis club scene, as he contends with a tumultuous home environment, a rival band, and a budding romance, and will be directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, according to press notes.

Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is writing a new book for the show that will be based on Albert Magnoli and William Blinns original movie screenplay. As for the music, fans can expect to hear new interpretations of Princes classic hits, including the title track, When Doves Cry and I Would Die 4 U.

Additional details on the production, including casting and a premiere date, have not yet been announced.

Released in the summer of 1984, the original Purple Rain starred Prince as The Kid, a Minneapolis musician who grapples with a difficult home life and a new romance as he rises to prominence. The semi-autobiographical film was a critical and commercial smash.
