54 Celebrates Prince
Purple REIGN
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word — life. It means forever and that’s a mighty long time but I’m here to tell you there’s something else….”
Prince Roger Nelson has been called “the gold standard of artistry” and it’s easy to see why. As a singer, guitarist, bassist, songwriter, arranger and producer he gave us some of the biggest hits the music world has ever known and is considered by many to be the greatest recording artist of all time. Feinstein’s/54 Below invites you to celebrate the man who taught the world to challenge normality and to champion freedom and creative control. A cast of Broadway/cabaret stars will honor songs from Prince’s incredible catalogue including “Let’s Go Crazy,””Little Red Corvette,””Nothing Compares 2 U,””When Doves Cry,””Raspberry Beret,””Purple Rain” and more.
The legend of Prince lives on. Long may he reign.
