\n Lauryn Hill was announced Wednesday as one of the lead singers on Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis\u2019s new concept album of The Warriors.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n As for whether the concept album, which also features Busta Rhymes, Rza, Ghostface Killah, Colman Domingo and more alongside an all-female gang, will become the Hamilton<\/em> creator\u2019s next full-length stage show, Miranda said it will depend on the reception.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe plan is just to release it and see how people respond,\u201d Miranda said at a Fast Conference summit in Manhattan Wednesday. He added that the project did not have a director or producers yet attached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n The album, due to be released Oct. 18, musicalizes the 1979 film that follows a street gang making their way from the Bronx to their home in Coney Island and encountering other gangs en route.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Miranda was initially presented with the idea in 2009, after writing In the Heights<\/em>, but did not think it could work as a musical. He returned to the idea in 2017-2018, after starring in Hamilton <\/em>and was intrigued when he found a new way in by making the main gang all female and wondering about their experience fighting their way back uptown. The gang is also wrongly accused of murdering another gang\u2019s leader, Cyrus of the Gramercy Riffs.<\/p>\n

\n On the album, Hill voices Cyrus of Gramercy Riffs, with the gang played by Kenita Miller as Cochise, Sasha Hutchings as Cowgirl, Phillipa Soo as Fox, Aneesa Folds as Cleon, Amber Gray as Ajaz, Gizel Jim\u00e9nez as Rembrandt, Jasmine Cephas Jones as Swan and Julia Harriman as Mercy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n The composer, who has also written songs for Moana <\/em>and Encanto<\/em>, noted that it\u2019s still \u201ca tricky story to adapt musically or for the stage,\u201d so the concept album will show whether it will be feasible, as had been the case for several other musicals, including The Who\u2019s Tommy, Waitress <\/em>and Hadestown.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Each neighborhood of New York will get a different sonic landscape, Miranda said noting: \u201cIt was really exciting to write.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Miranda has also written songs for Mufasa: The Lion King, <\/em>due to be released in December. The composer said he app<\/a>roached the project with \u201cgreat trepidation\u201d and given that the original film has \u201cfive songs, all bangers,\u201d written by Elton John and Tim Rice, and has become a large part of the cultural zeitgeist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n He was tapped to write six songs for the upcoming film, and said he wanted to join once he knew Barry Jenkins was directing the film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThat\u2019s sort of like Greta Gerwig directing Barbie,<\/em>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n The cultural impact of The Lion King, <\/em>and this film, which shows \u201chow Mufasa and Scarr became Mufasa and Scarr\u201d has become even more profound, Miranda said, after the passing of James Earl Jones, who had voiced Mufasa. Miranda was not sure whether Jones saw the final cut, but said Jenkins had previously spoken with him about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI know we had his blessing,\u201d Miranda said of the film.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
