If you’re coming to Minneapolis for the new Purple Rain Musical at the State Theater, and you want to slip back into 1984, my audio tour, In the Footsteps of Prince: Downtown Minneapolis Walking Tour, will literally take you past the State Theater, and through the entire sweep of Prince’s career:

The shop where Prince bought his first electric guitar,
The music wall where he did his iconic photo shoot at age 19,
The club where he attended a show just days before he died.
And much more.

Here’s what people are saying about the tour (actual reviews):

Wow. Just incredible hearing the stories and feeling connected to Prince as we walked the streets of Minneapolis. Purple Rain was the soundtrack to a cross country road trip my husband (then boyfriend) and I took in 1984. We’d also seen the movie before leaving and saw it again during our travels. RIP Prince.

Got chills, and not because it was December: I visited from Texas and really enjoyed this tour. The narrator is thorough and I got chills a couple times knowing I was standing in some of the same spaces Prince had once stood.

Amazing tour 😀. Really well designed and full of wonderful information and stories. Prince was made in this town and this town was made by Prince. Great value and highly recommended. 🕺

This tour was really well put together and very informative. Being a lifelong Prince fan, saw places that were so iconic and memorable. Would highly recommend. Thanks!

You can access the tour here: In the Footsteps of Prince: Downtown Minneapolis Walking Tour. If you’re going to the show, you’ll want to start the tour at least two hours beforehand, to give yourself time to walk back to the State Theater.
