Purple Rain Sing-a-Long in Prospect Park
Enjoy Music & Movies on NYC's Largest Outdoor Screen
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of history’s greatest pop albums, and the extravagantly, hilariously whacky and over the top film it inspired (the apotheosis of both the purple one’s genius and self caricature), don something lacey and ruffled and get your Prince on. Lyric subtitles will be available, but you know the words already. Joy Dragland of Brooklyn's live disco orchestra Escort certainly does; Purple Rain was the first cassette she ever owned. Dragland and others from Escort will lead the sing-along, after the band puts everyone in the mood with an opening set. (Note: The film is Rated R and admission of anyone under 17 will require an accompanying parent or guardian. The whole evening will feature scenes of extreme sexiness throughout.)
THURSDAY, AUGUST 6TH
GATES OPEN AT 6:30 PM, WITH THE PERFORMANCE SET TO BEGIN AT 7:30, RAIN OR SHINE
