Jasmine Cephas Jones, who originated the roles of Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds in Hamilton, will lead the cast as Swan.

She previously performed the role on the 2024 Warriors concept album, which featured a star-studded lineup of artists including Lauryn Hill, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Billy Porter and Colman Domingo.

Several other performers from the album are returning for the stage production, while some characters will be played by different actors.

Casey Likes will play Luther, a role performed by Kim Dracula on the album. Casey previously appeared on the recording as Jesse.

Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

What Is Warriors About?

The musical follows a fictional New York City gang from Coney Island who are falsely accused of murdering a respected gang leader named Cyrus during a gathering in the Bronx.

The group must make its way back home through the city while facing rival gangs and trying to prove its innocence.

The story is based on the 1979 movie The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill, as well as Sol Yurick‘s 1965 novel.

Lin-Manuel and Eisa wrote the book, music and lyrics for the stage production, which features music inspired by New York City’s hip-hop, salsa, ska and metal scenes.

The musical is directed by Jenny Koons, with Andy Blankenbuehler, who previously worked on Hamilton and In the Heights, serving as co-director and choreographer.

Warriors marks Lin-Manuel‘s first new original Broadway musical since Hamilton.
