Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ‘Warriors’ Concept Album Was His ‘Dream Project’


Lin-Manuel Miranda has always loved the 1979 action film ‘The Warriors,’ but he initially had doubts that it could ever be turned into a musical

“I basically wrote back, ‘It’ll never work,’” Miranda, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly at the October 18 release party for his and Eisa Davis ’ musical concept album based on the film, Warriors. In addition to Nas, 51, some of the stars featured on the album include Lauryn Hill, Colman Domingo, Marc Anthony, Billy Porter, Busta Rhymes, Cam’ron, Ghostface Killah and RZA. “They know I show up on TV sometimes, but they also have no idea [why],” the Tony winner, 39, told Us Weekly exclusively on Wednesday, October 2, at the Freestyle Love Supreme opening night.
