Miranda Announces 'Warriors' Concept Album

Lin-Manuel Miranda, alongside Eisa Davis and Nas, is set to release a concept album inspired by the 1979 cult film 'The Warriors' and the 1965 novel by Sol Yurick on October 18. The album, produced by Mike Elizondo and released by Atlantic Records, will feature 26 songs and a star-studded cast of artists to be announced soon. The project has been in development for three years and follows the journey of a New York City gang framed for a gang leader's murder, as they travel from the South Bronx to Coney Island. This musical endeavor marks a return to Miranda's roots in concept albums, similar to how 'Hamilton' was initially conceived. There are currently no plans to adapt 'Warriors' for the stage, despite initial speculation.
