More than a decade after Hamilton became one of the most important pieces of theater of the 21st century, Lin-Manuel Miranda is returning to Broadway with a new show.
Producers have announced that Miranda's first original stage musical since the Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamiltonwill be a stage adaptation of Warriors.
Based on director Walter Hill's 1979 cult classic The Warriors and the 1965 novel of the same name by Sol Yurick, Warriors centers on a Coney Island street gang. This gang must make their way across New York City after being falsely accused of assassinating the gang leader who had attempted to unite the city's rival crews.
Miranda will co-write the musical with Eisa Davis, and performances begin at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in March 2027, ahead of an opening night in April. This musical originated as a 2024 concept album produced by Nas and featuring the likes of Billy Portman, Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes and Colman Domingo. Miranda and Davis’s concept album notably gender-flips the original story, focusing the action on an all-female gang.
"With Warriors, we take a fateful journey through New York City full of heart and grit as our characters fight to survive," Miranda and Davis said in a joint statement per People. "Musicalizing such a vibrant world for the concept album has been a thrill, and now we're coming out to play on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne. We can't wait."
Miranda's Hamilton was a groundbreaking work of art which totally transformed the landscape of modern musicals. It won 11 Tony awards, a Grammy Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. While he has not made another original musical, he has expanded into film, lending his songwriting skills to Moana, Encanto and Vivo. He also directed tick, tick... BOOM! with Andrew Garfield and will helm the upcoming Octet with Rachel Zegler.
Casting for the Broadway production of Warriors has not been announced, but there is plenty more news to come about the adaptation.
