Cast of Broadway’s The Color Purple Sing Electrifying Prince Tribute Onstage (WATCH)

Jennifer Hudson and the cast of the Broadway musical The Color Purple, gathered for their usual curtain call at the end of Thursday’s evening performance–but with a heavy heart this time.

The legendary musician Prince had died at the age of 57, and the actors stepped to the edge of the stage to sing a glorious tribute.

Hudson, a friend of Prince’s, took center stage alongside Cynthia Erivo, and they belted out the words to—what else?— Purple Rain.
