Electric Word, Life: New Experience Celebrates Prince

Electric Word, Life: New Experience Celebrates Prince

WDCB’s Gary Zidek visits PRINCE: THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE, which is making its world premiere in Chicago.

LISTEN

Pop music icon Prince would have turned 64 this year. He passed away on April 21 2016, leaving behind an adoring fanbase that eagerly anticipated his next live performance or album. Born Prince Rogers Nelson, the Minneapolis-native is one of the best-selling music artists of ALL-TIME … over 150-million of his records have been sold.

A new interactive Prince exhibition is offering fans a new way to connect the late pop superstar.  “PRINCE: The Immersive Experience” is making its world premiere in Chicago. It was created by the New York-based entertainment company Superfly in collaboration with The Prince Estate.

There are plenty of Instagram-worthy photo ops, but the experience also provides a tremendous amount of biographical information about Prince.

PRINCE: The Immersive Experience is located at 540 N. Michigan Avenue in Chicago and is scheduled to run through October 9. You can find more information at princetheexperience.com
