Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis Release 'Warriors' Musical Concept Album

The album, inspired by the 1979 cult classic 'The Warriors,' features an all-female cast and contributions from Lauryn Hill.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis have collaborated on 'Warriors,' a musical concept album inspired by the 1979 film 'The Warriors.'
The album will be released on October 18 and stars Lauryn Hill as Cyrus, with the Warriors gang portrayed by an all-female cast.
Miranda and Davis aimed to capture themes of unity and peace, departing from the original film's storyline in significant ways.
The decision to make the Warriors an all-female group adds complexity and a fresh narrative perspective to the story.
Miranda emphasized the album format to allow for creative musical storytelling, drawing inspiration from concept albums like 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and 'Hadestown.'
