    WANTED

    Join BWAYSHO as she gets a behind the scenes look at the new Broadway musical: WANTED! WANTED stars Solea Pfeiffer (Hadestown, Almost Famous) as Mary, Liisi LaFontaine (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Dreamgirls on the West End) as Martha, Grammy Award winner Ledisi as Tallulah, Grammy Award nominee Luke Jame (Thoughts of a Colored Man, “The Chi”) as Elijah, Bradley Jaden (Les Miséables, Wicked) as Jesse, Aurelia Williams (Once on This Land, Parade) as Sissy and Awa Sal Secka as Flo.

Betts, Aaron Arnell Harrington, Jennie Harney-Fleming, Rayshun LaMarr, Hailey Thomas and Harris Matthew Turner.   From P3 Productions (Ben Holtzman, Sammy Lopez and Fiona Rudin), WANTED is a soulful and dangerous new Broadway musical inspired by a Clarke family story carried for generations. Texas, 1893 – twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke are on the run. The sisters, Black women who pass for white and hide in plain sight, straddle a dangerous line between two Americas. But as powerful forces close in to keep their family from claiming a future of their own, Mary and Martha are driven to desperate measures to save their mother and their family’s legacy. When survival demands they do the unthinkable, the sisters fight for self-determination, dignity and the inheritance they have long been denied. This New York Times Critic’s Pick has been hailed as “thrillingly original” with an “audacious and rollicking story.”   WANTED features book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri (a descendant of the Clarke sisters) and music by Ross Baum. The production is directed by Stevie Walker-Webb (Ain’t No Mo’) and choreographed by Chelsey Arce (Sweeney Todd, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), with orchestrations by John Clancy, arrangements by Ross Baum and Austin Cook, music supervision by Nadia DiGiallonardo, music direction by Paul Byssainthe Jr., scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Emilo Sosa, lighting design by Adam Honoré, sound design by Gareth Owen, video and projection design by Stefania Bulbarella, and hair, wig and makeup design by J.
