The Main Street Mouse reports tickets for Miranda and Davis's Broadway 'Warriors' go on sale October 22, with $79 and $19.79 lotteries planned.
What Happened: A Sale Date Set for Tomorrow
The Broadway journey of *Warriors*, the new musical Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote with Pulitzer Prize finalist Eisa Davis, moved from casting into the box office this week.
According to The Main Street Mouse, the show will begin previews March 9, 2027, and officially open April 8, 2027 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre at 205 West 46th Street in New York, and tickets go on sale to the general public Thursday, October 22 at 10 a.m. ET at broadwaydirect.com.
WBAL NewsRadio reports Miranda confirmed the March 9, 2027 stage date, with ticket presales beginning October 22. The scheduling detail matters to fans because it turns months of album anticipation into a concrete opening-night target.
Why It's Surprising: A Hamilton Reunion Behind the Scenes
What The Main Street Mouse frames as the striking part is how deliberately *Warriors* reassembles the *Hamilton* machine.
Andy Blankenbuehler, who won a Tony Award for choreographing *Hamilton*, serves as co-director and choreographer alongside director Jenny Koons. *Hamilton* director Thomas Kail and producer Jeffrey Seller are producing with Miranda and his father, Luis A. Miranda Jr., and scenic designer David Korins also returns from that team.
On stage, Jasmine Cephas Jones — who originated Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds on Broadway — leads as Swan, per WBAL. For devoted theatergoers, this is less a new show than the *Hamilton* creative family regrouping around a very different story.
The Evidence: Cast, Album and Source Material
Both outlets describe the same project, and the details corroborate across them.
WBAL NewsRadio reports the ensemble alongside Cephas Jones includes Jaci Calderon, Aneesa Folds, Amber Gray, Julia Harriman, Sasha Hutchings, Gizel Jiménez, Kenita R. Miller, Sasha Allen, Casey Likes and Donald Webber Jr., with more casting to come.
The Main Street Mouse assigns specific roles, listing Jones as Swan, Calderon as Fox, Folds as Cleon, Gray as Ajax, Hutchings as Cowgirl and Jiménez as Rembrandt.
The show adapts Sol Yurick's 1965 novel and the 1979 cult film, following a Coney Island gang framed for a gang leader's murder that must fight its way home across New York in one night.
Miranda and Davis call it, in their words quoted by The Main Street Mouse, "a dream of a more peaceful city where we all come home alive."
The Stakes: From Chart-Topping Album to Stage
The commercial foundation is unusual for a new Broadway musical.
The Main Street Mouse reports that Miranda and Davis first brought the story to life as a concept album in October 2024, executive produced by Nas and featuring Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes, Marc Anthony, Billy Porter and Colman Domingo, and that the album reached No. 1 on the Billboard Compilation Album chart in its first week.
WBAL notes many cast members already collaborated with Miranda on that album or his Tony-winning musicals *In the Heights* and *Hamilton*.
That means *Warriors* arrives on Broadway with a pre-built audience and soundtrack — a high bar, since fans will expect the stage version to match the recording they already know.
How to Get Tickets, Including the $19.79 Seats
The Main Street Mouse lays out the access plan in detail: general on-sale begins Thursday, October 22 at 10 a.m. ET at broadwaydirect.com, while fan and Capital One presales began Tuesday, October 20.
The site directs fans to warriorsmusical.com for presale and lottery updates. For budget-conscious Broadway fans, those two lottery tiers are the headline detail to circle on the calendar.
What Comes Next Before March
The immediate milestones, per The Main Street Mouse and WBAL NewsRadio, are the October 22 general on-sale and further casting announcements, which both outlets say are still to come.
Then the calendar runs toward first previews on March 9, 2027 and opening night on April 8, 2027 at the Lunt-Fontanne, with lotteries kicking in over the winter.
As The Main Street Mouse's coverage puts it, the question now is whether the album's chart momentum and the *Hamilton* reunion can carry a gender-flipped gang story to Broadway success — the outlet even asks readers directly whether they will be heading to Broadway to see *Warriors*.
