Warriors, with a book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights) and Eisa Davis (Bulrusher), will begin previews at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in March
2027.
Based on the Paramount Pictures motion picture The Warriors and the book The Warriors by Sol Yurick, the musical—licensed for the stage by Paramount Products & Experiences—will officially open in April 2027.
Directed by Jenny Koons, and co-directed and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, the new musical follows a fictitious New York City gang from Coney Island to the Bronx
and back when they are framed for the murder of a respected gang leader,
Cyrus.
Produced by Thomas Kail, Miranda, Luis A. Miranda, Jr., and Jeffrey Seller, Warriors will also feature scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Dede Ayite, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Jason Crystal, projection design by Hana S. Kim, music supervision by Kurt Crowley, and orchestrations by Crowley, Scott Wasserman, and Mike Elizondo.
Casting, performance dates, and additional creative team members will be announced at a later time.
“With Warriors, we take a fateful journey through New York City full of heart and grit as our characters fight to survive,” said co-writers Miranda and Davis in a joint statement. “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.”
Warriors originated
as a concept album, released October 18, 2024, executive produced by Grammy-winning rapper Nas and produced
by Grammy-winning musician Mike Elizondo. The immersive listening
