What Is Warriors About?
The story follows the Warriors, a gang from Coney Island who are framed for the murder of Cyrus, a respected leader, at a summit in the Bronx.
Over one tumultuous night, they have to race back home to prove their innocence and protect Cyrus’ hope for peace.
Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis have called the show “a rollercoaster like the Coney Island Cyclone,” packed with the action of the original film.
From Concept Album to Broadway
Warriors was first released as a concept album on Oct. 18, 2024, and at the time, the writers said they had no plans for a stage version.
The recording blended hip-hop, salsa, rock and Broadway, with guest appearances from Lauryn Hill, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Billy Porter and Marc Anthony.
Lin-Manuel Miranda has said he first watched The Warriors as a child, and the story has stayed with him ever since.
Meet the Creative Team
For Warriors, Jenny Koons makes her Broadway directorial debut, while Andy Blankenbuehler, who choreographed Hamilton, co-directs and choreographs.
The design team includes scenic designer David Korins, costume designer Dede Ayite and lighting designer Natasha Katz.
