The Warriors is literally one of my favorite films, so I’m obviously ecstatic that this was made. I’m so confused though that this was made as an audio release without a live performance. This really should be made into a live show. Or even an animated visual component to go along with the music.
Just finished it, and I'm blown away...like to even take this on as an idea..the absolute guts man..bring the warriors to the light again, where this generation I'm sure has little to no connection to the film, flip the most badass macho dude movie ever into a somehow equally badass freakin' musical album with the gang as all females...finding the themes and expanding upon them so they are timeless and universal...pulling certain heart out of the movie that I didnt even know was in there, but clearly was, while also making it all accessible, relevant, and vital. Honouring all that while being creatively original and fresh..it shouldn't work, like every concept that Lin seems to have, and this works as well as anything ever has...in my opinion it's genius, and to be honest, I avoid using that word normally, I just can't think of a better one to describe this work. Everyone's vocal performances, the musicians, the arrangements, the sound design and effects, the genres tackled and perfected, the legends honoured like Lauryn Hill, Nas, Marc Anthony...if you ever feel like we are not living in a golden age of art, music and storytelling, do yourself a favour, and take a bite of this, taste it all at once. If Lin somehow hadnt reached icon status before in your mind, rest assured, he is the playwright/creative light evolution. Just like Bill Russell to Dr. J to Magic led to MJ, Hammerstein to Sondheim to Larson led to Lin... I think we are the lucky few witnessing the greatest to ever do this, and the high water mark that everybody coming next gets compared to. Find a freakin' peak bro! Like come on already!! Sorry for the long post...kind of...thanks ✌️
My only critique about the album: Save the "Warriors, come out and play" to the end! It's Luther's signature line. Let the phrase be a leimotif at first, a warning sign. Build up the suspense. I love how they characterized Luther, too. Made him into a total Joker! I hope this becomes an actual musical!
I alredy listened the whole album, I haven't watched the movie yet but I understood almost everthing, it's sooo good!!! Now I want to see the movie hahaha
They been trying to remake The Warriors for like two decades. No one ever agrees on how it should be made so it just languishes in development hell. Maybe this album will both renew interest and focus its conception in a single direction.
Let's get things straight: I like the songs and the performers involved here. Everybody was excellent!! Now, about the subject -a retake on Walter Hill's movie The Warriors from 1979-.No. Swaping the characters' genders is just cheap and doesn't bring anything new. Yes, I said it. Internet, you can disagree with me, but if you look deep inside you, you'll know it to be truth.
we all tried of the bootlegs. obviously creativity been banned in Hollywood.. if its not serial killers and evil worshipping they not interested... our country its being sabotaged from within! Thanks Disney!
I honestly don't care if the genders are swapped haha the albumnis dope and the movie is a classic. The album takes nothing away from the movie for me~
yeah cause thats what we all need another remake... tragic society we live in where nothing original gets funded. must be something it worked 40 years ago....
Just listened to the whole album... It is AMAZING!! 😭 I laughed, cried and danced!! My new obsession ❤
It's so freaking good. Lin Manuel Miranda just can't miss.
How? Isn't it out tomorrow?
@@hummersddifferent countries! Time zones our all different so depending on the country, depends when they get it!!
Just finished the album. How did they do this? It’s genuinely one of the most impressive feats of musicality I’ve witness in years
WHAT OMG NOT LIN DROPPING A MUSICAL THATS SO FUNNY CAUSE I JUST FINISHED RE WATCHING 2 OF HIS MUSICALS TODAY 😭

I hope we get a whole song dedicated to the “Can You Dig It?” scene!! So excited for this!!
U bet there is! It’s amazing.
And…its Lauryn Hill 😳
"If You Can Count" by Lauryn Hill.
We did and it's fantastic
I JUST FINISHED IT OMG ITS SOOOOOO GOOD AHHHHHH
I'm so glad that Kim Dracula was included on this album. They are truly a great talent and deserve all the good that comes from this album experience
Oh wow, it's been a minute since I've seen that movie. I need to hear this album.
Press junkets can be blah but this is such an engaging and respectful interview - you can tell how genuinely eager you are to hear about it!

the album was awesome!!!

This is a surprise to me. I'm excited.
how cool to choose this movie of all to do a musical of. very Sondheimian.
I'm very excited by this!
Looks like there’s more to this interview 👀 👀
would you recommend listening to the album first or watching the movie first?
I alredy listened the whole album, I haven't watched the movie yet but I understood almost everthing, it's sooo good!!! Now I want to see the movie hahaha
Watch the movie. The musical will make a lot more sense (minus the gender reversals).
not these two making me actually want to watch the movie
TheWarriors Should get remake movie
I wanted a modern remake of the movie too. I feel there’s so much that can be improved upon this cult classic.
@@rustonh316 yeah i agree with u bro ,the Warriors need modern remake
They been trying to remake The Warriors for like two decades. No one ever agrees on how it should be made so it just languishes in development hell. Maybe this album will both renew interest and focus its conception in a single direction.
@@rustonh316 Ah yes, to quote Kamala Harris, "We must be unburdened by what has been" 🙄

I liked the idea of a concept album but I hate the now done-to-death let's make them all girls cliche. Why? Zzzzz.
