Tickets are now on sale for Grammy and Academy Award-winning Purple Rain (1984), which marked Prince’s movie debut.

Prince plays ‘The Kid’, a Minneapolis club musician as alienated as he is talented. The Kid struggles with a tumultuous homelife and his own smouldering anger while taking refuge in his music and his steamy love for Apollonai Kotero.
