Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis’ “Warriors” Musical Sets Broadway Debut Next Spring at Lunt-Fontanne

Producers announced the stage adaptation of the 1979 film “The Warriors” will begin previews in March 2027 at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, with an official opening planned for April.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

“Warriors,” a new musical adaptation by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis based on the 1979 cult classic film “The Warriors,” will make its Broadway debut next spring, producers announced June 23, 2026. The production is scheduled to begin previews in March 2027 at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, with an official opening set for April.

The musical will bring the story first popularized on film to the Broadway stage, with Miranda and Davis credited as creators for the adaptation. The project’s announced timeline places its debut after a Broadway season that typically requires finalized casting, choreography, scenic work, and union production planning months in advance.

The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, a long-standing Broadway venue, is expected to host the production for its premiere run beginning with pre-opening performances in March. Broadway previews generally serve as a structured testing period for staging, technical elements, and audience flow, with performances operating under regular theatre rules while the show fine-tunes during rehearsals and previews.

Deadline reported that “Warriors” will be Miranda’s first new full-length original stage musical since an earlier project, marking a return to creating a new musical specifically for the theatrical stage. The company did not provide additional creative details in the announcement beyond the creators and the adaptation source material, according to the report.

The decision to set “Warriors” for March 2027 and an April opening means the production will likely draw on the standard Broadway production calendar, including ongoing work with theatre unions on rehearsals and work rules, technical rehearsals for sound and lighting, and final casting and understudy arrangements closer to the start of previews.

Because the production is an adaptation of a pre-existing film property, producers will also be required to comply with intellectual property and licensing terms related to “The Warriors.” The announcement tied the musical’s premise to the 1979 film, but did not specify additional source rights holders or licensing terms in the published report.

With the premiere date now set, the production is expected to enter the next phase of Broadway development that typically includes continued creative development, finalized schedules for design and rehearsal, and marketing and ticketing rollout aligned to the previews and opening month. Producers did not announce additional casting or creative credits in the June 23 announcement, according to the report.

Why It Matters

  • The March 2027 preview and April opening date place “Warriors” on a clear Broadway production calendar, affecting theatre scheduling and downstream planning for staff, vendors, and audiences.
  • A major new musical tied to a well-known film property is likely to drive additional interest in theatre ticketing ahead of the 2027 season.
  • The production’s venue, the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, determines the technical infrastructure and staging parameters under Broadway’s established operating rules.
  • As a large-scale Broadway adaptation, the show will need to complete design, rehearsal, and union production steps in the months leading up to previews.
  • The announcement sets expectations for creative teams and audiences to follow the show through its preview period as adjustments are made before the official opening.
