Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis are turning their concept album ‘Warriors’ into a full-length Broadway show. The story follows a street gang called the Warriors as they make their way from the Bronx to their home turf of Coney Island in Brooklyn while being hunted by rival gangs and cops.
Adaptation and Creative Team
The musical of ‘Warriors’ is expected to begin previews next March and open next April at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. ‘Warriors’ will be directed by Jenny Koons with a book by Miranda and Davis. No casting was announced.
Miranda and Davis released their album in 2024, keeping the bones of the story but making strategic changes in genders, like making the Warriors all women. The album had an astonishing list of artists playing various parts.
