On November 17, 2008 the group became the 1st ever tribute/impersonator act to appear as the musical guest on Late Show with David Letterman. That show was chosen by CBS and Late Show to ring in the New Year and re-aired January 1st, 2009 at 12:15am (New Years Eve) less than 45 days later, making it the 1st musical performance of 2009 on Letterman. ‘09 also saw Purple Reign crowned "Best Tribute Act" by the 28th annual Las Vegas Review Journal Poll, winning 2 awards by both the staff and readers. Purple Reign captures the imagination and seamlessly re-creates the blistering performances and raw energy of Prince in his prime and returns you to the era that made "The Artist" an international superstar. Featuring a tribute Morris Day and The Time, this show is a must see for Purple Rain movie fans and all live music fans alike! « less

we had read all the reviews which in general went "i had my doubts but it was great!' and we have to agree. I guess this show has been around for ten years. About the only bad thing i have to say is the venue is a bit sketchy, in Hooters, not the highest class casino, where the VIP line... More

We grabbed the VIP experience through TIX4TONIGHT, which made the price reasonable. We arrived a few minutes before the show was to begin, so we must have missed out on the sound check experience. The venue took us back a few decades, but the small, intimate nature of the actual performance was fun. The crowd really got into it, which... More

Dont take the kids. It can get kinda raunchy. But if you like/love Prince and/or Morris Day, you will enjoy this show.

Went to see the act at Hooters. We had VIP tickets, but they were "out" of most of the tee shirt sizes. (Sounds like this is a reoccuring problem) I guess our VIP experiences included a sound check, which was an extremely loud 3 minutes of everyone playing their instruments. As they finished, the Prince guy said "Looks like another... More

This show was entertaining, funny and upbeat. While I'm not a Prince fan, my friends are. We all had a great time. They really did a good job and are fantastic musicians.

I was apprehensive to see this show. Prince is the best live performer in the world, in my humble opinion, so you have to be pretty freakin' good to do a tribute. Oh my god, I had soooo much fun!! It was my favourite part of Vegas. I'm going back in June, and I can't wait to see Purple Reign... More

The show itself was very interactive and energetic. Wide gamut of songs performed from early days through NPG and even to music by the Artist formerly known as Prince.

Awesome show! Morris & Jerome were a great addition! I would love to hear P Control, and a few of the raunchier tunes. Can;t wait to see them again to see if they mix up the set list! Bottom line: YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS SHOW!
