Billboards is a ballet created by the Joffrey Ballet featuring the works of Prince.[1][2] The premiere was on Wednesday, January 27, 1993, at Hancher Auditorium, University of Iowa, Iowa City.
No new music was used, although Prince contributed a special extended ten-minute orchestrated version of "Thunder" from the Diamonds and Pearls album. A video of the performance was released on VHS in February 1994,[3] and on Laserdisc format.
