"Warriors," built on the 1979 cult classic movie, is an inventive song cycle by "Hamilton" mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda and Pulitzer finalist Eisa Davis, an album that has deployed musical talent brilliantly to tell another story of going home, at the intersection of musical theater and popular music.
The movie - born from a book by Sol Yurick - follows the street gang the Warriors as they make their way from The Bronx to their home turf of Coney Island in Brooklyn while being hunted by rivals gangs and cops. (Check out the lyric book to have a richer experience). The subway is almost a character, the main mode of transport, acting as the city's artery.
Miranda and Davis have kept the bones of the story but made strategic changes in genders, like making the Warriors all women, played by theater vets Kenita Miller, Sasha Hutchings, Phillipa Soo, Aneesa Folds, Amber Gray, Gizel Jiménez, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Julia Harriman. They all give it an extra buzz, beautifully emotional in just a few words.
