Miranda and Eisa Davis co-wrote the new musical, which reimagines the 1979 action film, premiering at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in early March.<\/p>\n
Warriors, come out to play! Initial casting has been set for the world premiere of Warriors<\/a> on Broadway, Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/a> and Eisa Davis’s new musical starting performances March 9 at the Lunt-Fontanne<\/a> Theatre. Opening night is April 8.<\/p>\n The Warriors Broadway cast includes Jaci Calderon as Fox, Aneesa Folds as Cleon, Amber Gray<\/a> as Ajax, Julia Harriman as Mercy, Sasha Hutchings as Cowgirl, Gizel Jim\u00e9nez as Rembrandt, Jasmine Cephas Jones<\/a> as Swan, Kenita R. Miller as Cochise, Sasha Allen as Cyrus, Casey Likes<\/a> as Luther, and Donald Webber Jr.<\/a> as Masai.<\/p>\n All but Calderon, Allen, Likes, and Webber reprise the roles they voiced on the show’s 2024 cast album; Likes appeared on the album in a different role. Complete Broadway casting will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n Warriors is adapted from the 1979 action movie, itself based on Sol Yurick’s novel, about a fictional Coney Island gang escaping to their home turf after being framed for a respected gang leader’s murder. Miranda and Davis’s stage adaptation gender-flips the story, turning the central Warriors into an all-female gang.<\/p>\n Co-directors Jenny Koons and Andy Blankenbuehler (who also choreographs) lead a creative team that also includes scenic designer David Korins; costume designer Dede Ayite; lighting designer Natasha Katz; sound designer Jason Crystal; projection designer Hana S. Kim; wig, hair, and makeup designer Nikiya Mathis; fight director Drew Leary; music supervisor Kurt Crowley; orchestrators Kurt Crowley, Mike Elizondo, and Scott Wasserman; and production stage manager Cody Renard Richard.<\/p>\n Check back for information on Warriors tickets on New York Theatre Guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miranda and Eisa Davis co-wrote the new musical, which reimagines the 1979 action film, premiering at the Lunt-Fontanne…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-378035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
