Prince ‘theatrical spectacular’ with unreleased ‘vaults full of music’ planned
PRINCE’S manager, Charles Koppelman, has confirmed a ‘theatrical spectacular’ with previously unreleased music of the star.
A Prince theatrical spectacular is planned
The manager and lawyer of Prince’s estate revealed a Broadway musical or Cirque du Soleil show is on its way.
Koppelman says: “We’re going to be having a good time.
“There is so much to be done with this estate. There are vaults full of music.
“Though his name was Prince, I always thought he was the king of music.”
Prince Reportedly Died From an Opioid Overdose
Prince's manager says it'll be a Broadway musical or Cirque du Soliel show
Koppelman added: “Prince was an icon on the level of The Beatles and Michael Jackson, and his legacy should be honoured.”
The Beatles already have their own Cirque du Soliel show called Love, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in Las Vegas this year.
After Jackson’s death in 2009, his planned sold-out tour was cancelled.
A footage of rehearsals were bought by Columbia Pictures who made a concert film called Michael Jackson’s This Is It.
Prince died aged 57 of a drug overdose
Koppelman was selected by Bremer Trust, Prince’s estate administrators, to monetise the musicians image and name.
The Trust also have plans to open the star’s home at Paisley Park as a theme park like Elvis Presley’s Graceland.
Prince would often open his home to fans for concerts and played his last just two days before his death.
The star died aged 57 of a prescription drug overdose at Paisley Park, on April 21.
