The
musical of “Warriors” is expected to begin previews next March
and open next April at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. “Warriors”
will be directed by Jenny Koons with a book by Miranda and
Davis. No casting was announced.
“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 and Davis said in a
statement Tuesday.
Miranda and Davis released their album in 2024, keeping the
bones of the story but making strategic changes in genders, like
making the Warriors all women. The album had an astonishing list
of artists playing various parts: Ms. Lauryn Hill, Nas, Busta
Rhymes, Billy Porter, Ghostface Killah, RZA, Marc Anthony,
Colman Domingo, Cam’ron, Shenseea and Joshua Henry, among them.
The album included the sounds of salsa, ska, agro-rock, boy
band, pop, old-school rap and even K-pop. Spanish and Korean
mixes with the English. It has the song “We Got You,” a
seductive R&B tune delivered by a male gang wearing cardigans,
and “Quiet Girls,” a feminist anthem.
