As Rolling Stone reports, Prince: The Immersive Experience will be held at the Shops At North Bridge retail-entertainment district in Chicago, Illinois from June 9 until October 9, 2022. Tickets go on sale at 10 am CT March 31, here.
The show was prepared by Superfly in partnership with the Prince Estate, and is described as “an interactive trip through the music and life of Prince” while showcasing the musician’s various musical eras and creative evolution.
In one room, attendees can interact with the cover art for Prince’s 1984 sixth studio album. “You’re going to be able to step in a Purple Rain album cover,” Superfly co-founder Kerry Black told Rolling Stone.
“Where you can get your photo up on the motorcycle. But we’re also doing a full buildout of the entire street scene, right? So there’s going to be the First Avenue club and a bunch of the stores.”
Other highlights of the show include a recreation of Paisley Park’s Studio A, “which was [Prince’s] studio where he created all his music from about 1990 on,” Black explained. “And in there, people are going to be able to go and sort of play producer and mix stems from ‘Let’s Go Crazy.’”
Also, Prince’s former lighting designer Roy Bennett collaborated with the creators to produce an audio-visual dance space. Fans can enjoy displays of pieces from the star’s original wardrobe as well as his instruments, alongside replicas and various photographs.
