- Lin-Manuel Miranda is bringing 'Warriors' to Broadway, with previews starting in March 2027 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and an official opening in April — his first new Broadway show in over a decade since 'Hamilton.'
- 'Warriors' adapts the 1979 Paramount Pictures cult film about a NYC gang framed for the murder of a gang leader named Cyrus, tracing their journey from Coney Island to the Bronx and back.
- Jenny Koons directs the production; Tony winner Andy Blankenbuehler — a collaborator on Miranda's 'In the Heights' and 'Hamilton' — co-directs and choreographs, with book, music, and lyrics credited to Miranda and Eisa Davis.
- The show grew from a 2024 concept album executive produced by Nas and produced by Mike Elizondo, featuring recorded vocals from Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes, Marc Anthony, Billy Porter, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Colman Domingo, Cam'ron, and Kim Dracula.
- Producers reunite Miranda with the 'Hamilton' team: Thomas Kail and Jeffrey Seller, joined by Miranda's father Luis A. Miranda Jr.
Why it matters: The reunion of Miranda with Thomas Kail and Jeffrey Seller — the director-producer duo behind 'Hamilton' — plus choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler from both 'In the Heights' and 'Hamilton,' signals a deliberate assembly of the same creative team that built his last Broadway blockbuster, now layered onto a project already road-tested via a star-studded 2024 hip-hop concept album.
