Lin-Manuel Miranda Adapting 70s Cult Classic For Next Musical

Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda is adapting as his next musical the book The Warriors, which inspired a 1979 cult classic action movie. With its hip-hop-infused take on American history, Hamilton went on to be an unprecedented smash after debuting on Broadway in 2015. Since riding Hamilton to worldwide fame, Miranda has made musical contributions to projects as diverse as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the animated films Moana and Encanto and this year’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, while also directing the 2021 film Tick, Tick...Boom! with Andrew Garfield.
