A Broadway musical adaptation of Warriors is in development from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis, based on their 2024 concept album and the original 1965 novel and 1979 film about a Bronx-to-Coney Island gang journey.

The production is planned to open at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in April 2027, with casting yet to be announced.

The original concept album features a star-studded lineup—Lauryn Hill, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Billy Porter, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Marc Anthony, Colman Domingo, Cam’ron, Shenseea, and Joshua Henry—blending salsa, ska, agro-rock, pop, rap, and K-pop, with bilingual Spanish and Korean elements.

Miranda and Davis describe the show as a heartful, gritty New York City journey where the characters fight to survive.

Davis emphasizes exploring what true peace looks like, with a line from the album echoed in the musical to reflect the characters’ struggle.

The project is part of Miranda’s broader New York Trilogy of stage works, alongside In the Heights and Hamilton, grounded in New York communities.

Development is ongoing, with music work and workshop iterations continuing as of the reporting date.

The collaboration between Miranda and Davis is positioned as a major new entry in Miranda’s body of stage work.

Miranda has long pursued a Warriors stage adaptation to explore fear, peace, and the characters’ quest to get home alive.

The project aims to bring the vibrant world of the concept album to Broadway while preserving its core themes and feminist angles.

Eisa Davis collaborates on book, music, and lyrics with Miranda writing and producing; Miranda will be a lead producer but not on stage.

Directed by Jenny Koons with Andy Blankenbühler as co-director and choreographer, the show centers a New York City gang’s journey from Coney Island to the Bronx and back after being framed.
