Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis on their 'Warriors' musical concept album with Lauryn Hill

  • Most New Yorkers, Lin-Manuel Miranda argues, have an answer to the following question: When did you first see “The Warriors”? The group is wrongly accused of murdering another gang's leader, the peace-seeking Cyrus of the Gramercy Riffs.
