A CINEMA TRIBUTE FIT FOR A PRINCE

Announcement posted by Event Hospitality & Entertainment 22 Apr 2016

In a fitting tribute to the music legend, Event Cinemas will screen exclusive showings of Purple Rain at selected cinemas on Friday 29th April at 9pm.

Prince, one of the true music legends of our time, best known for his extraordinary musical talent, creativity and flare. A musician who mostly chose to avoid the limelight and let his music speak for itself with the exception of one legendary film.

In July, 1984, Prince gifted the world a glimpse into the inner-workings of his mind through the film Purple Rain - a colourful musical part-autobiography, part-fantasy and completely genius. Taking the movie world by storm in the same way his music did, the film went on to win an Academy Award for ‘Best Original Song Score’.

In a fitting tribute to the music legend, Event Cinemas will screen exclusive showings of Purple Rain at selected cinemas on Friday 29th April at 9pm.

Purple Rain casts Prince as “The Kid,” a wildly talented, romantic, eccentric, and neurotic musician. Set in his home town of Minneapolis with cameos from musicians he was collaborating with at the time including the like of Morris Day, Lisa Coleman, Wendy Melvoin, Apollonia and Kotero.

Cinemas screening Purple Rain include:

  • New South Wales - George St, Miranda, Parramatta and Macquarie

  • Queensland - Indooroopilly, Chermside and Pacific Fair

  • South Australia - Marion

  • Western Australia - Innaloo

 

Tickets are $12 and will on sale Saturday 23rd April at 12 Noon and can be purchased from www.eventcinemas.com.au
