Can you imagine the movie script being adapted as a musical? Of course with Prince and all of his co-stars as actors...same wardrobe...same motorcycle...it's probably the (instrumental) movie score that made me visualize it.

Call me stupid, but I actually think that would be a nice idea.. yeah I could imagine that..

Just lick someones ass when you listen to Purple Rain...now theres a musical!

round and round...

Early next year, there actually will be a Purple Rain Rock Opera... Belive me you'll be hearing more about it

the music is too energized and fast to be a musical

Opera yes, musical no.

On his CD Roll With the New, Chris Rock has a little skit regarding this exact subject.

There are rumours of a Purple Rain stage musical - and why not?

In the UK we have a Queen musical "We Will Rock You" which has been a massive success. Also just about to open is a Rod Stewart musical!!!

Both have the book written by successful British scriptwriter/playright/author/comedian Ben Elton

On top of that is Mama Mia the Abba musical - also a massive success.

Personally (as a Prince fan) I think Purple Rain could be made to work very well on stage.

I think 'Purple Rain' will make a fine musical.They took "Saturday Night Fever" and turned it into a hit musical,even adding some new songs.I wonder if Prince will add a few new songs to the 'Purple Rain' stage musical?

No.

But I can see 'Graffiti Bridge' being converted into a fine musical.

In fact, the whole feel of 'Graffiti Bridge' would have fitted a musical format perfectly.

Isn't it a musical already?

And if they were to find a replica of Lake Minnetonka for an Apollonia understudy to jump into I would be very impressed indeed
