Hi Friends! Happy Warriors Day to all who celebrate - (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis wrote a musical concept album called Warrriors, adapted from the 1979 cult film of the same name.) As one might expect, it's absolutely fantastic. It's a New York Story. It's a love letter to musical theatre. It's vibrant, and it's hopeful. It's punk rock, and it's musical theatre. And hip-hop. And heavy metal. And R&B. It is the fear of being lost - and the hope that peace can be found.
