Alyssa Greenberg/WWD Lin-Manuel Miranda is returning to Broadway more than a decade after “Hamilton” became a cultural phenomenon.
His new show “Warriors” is a musical adaptation of a cult film about street gangs in a bombed out New York City. It will begin previews at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Broadway in March 2027 and will officially open in April 2027.
“Warriors” will be directed by Jenny Koons, who is known for her immersive shows with the likes of The Public Theater and Playwrights Horizons, and co-directed and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, a Tony winner who worked with Miranda on “In the Heights” and “Hamilton.” Like the Paramount Pictures film that inspired it, “Warriors” follows a fictitious New York City gang from Coney Island to the Bronx and back when they are framed for the murder of a gang leader, Cyrus. “Warriors” boasts a book, music and lyrics by co-writers Miranda and Eisa Davis.
