Jordan Fisher will play The Kid, the role originated by Prince, in the Broadway musical adaptation of *Purple Rain*. Previews are scheduled to begin March 12, 2027, at New York’s Majestic Theatre, with opening night set for April 12, following the show’s 2025 world premiere in Minneapolis. The production will feature more than 20 Prince songs and follow a Minneapolis musician navigating a difficult home life, romance and a bid for success. Fisher, whose Broadway credits include *Hamilton*, *Dear Evan Hansen*, *Hadestown* and *Sweeney Todd*, will perform live music and demanding dance and acrobatic sequences. The Broadway production has a revised creative team led by director Saheem Ali, with a new book by Peter Duchan; an alternate performer and additional cast members are expected to be announced.
