About Warriors
Warriors is a cast recording turned musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis, inspired by the 1979 action film The Warriors, which adapted the 1965 novel of the same name by Sol Yurick, which was inspired by Xenophon's 4th-century B.C. Anabasis. It was released on October 18, 2024, produced by Mike Elizondo and executive-produced by Nas. Blending hip-hop, musical theater, and various styles that reflect New York City's diversity, Warriors reimagines the story with a gender-flipped perspective. It follows an all-female gang navigating a treacherous journey through the city after the murder of a gang leader, drawing inspiration from real-life events like the 1971 Hoe Avenue peace meeting and addressing themes of misogyny.
