Wanted, the musical formerly known as Gun & Powder, will open on Broadway the James Earl Jones Theatre on November 8, 2026. Previews will begin October 15.

The musical takes place in Texas, 1893 and is based on the true story of Mary and Martha Clarke, two women who went from farm girls to outlaws. Determined to save their family, the twin sisters take fate into their own hands.

Playing Mary and Martha are Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine.

Wanted features book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri, a real-life descendant of the Clarke sisters, music by Ross Baum, direction by tevie Walker-Webb, music direction by Austin Cook, and choreography by Chelsey Arce.

Wanted had a run at Paper Mill Playhouse last year under the name Gun & Powder. That production starred LaFontaine, Ciara Renée, and Jeannette Bayardelle. Our critic said “This stirringly acted and memorably staged production contains all the elements needed to create a bona fide hit, although some judicious editing could leave it in even better shape.”

Full casting will be announced at a later date.
