Watch: Inside Wanted on Broadway, With Stars Solea Pfeiffer, Liisi LaFontaine, Ledisi, & More

Step inside the rehearsal room for Wanted, a new Broadway musical at the James Earl Jones Theatre that turns history, folklore, and the American dream on it head. Hear from stars Solea Pfeiffer, Liisi LaFontaine, and Ledisi, as well as writers Ross Baum and Angelica Chéri in the video below.

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. Joining them are the previously announced Ledisi as Tallulah Clarke, Luke James as Elijah, Bradley Jaden as Jesse, Aurelia Williams as Sissy, and Awa Sal Secka as Flo.

Newly announced are Ximone Rose as the standby for Mary and Martha Clarke, Melody A. Betts, Aaron Arnell Harrington, Jennie Harney-Fleming, Rayshun LaMarr, Hailey Thomas and Harris Matthew Turner as the Kinfolk, and Wesley J. Barnes, Kailey Boyle, Meghan Olivia Corbett, Timothy Hughes, Crystal Joy, Mary Claire King, Brad Sharp, Danielle J. Summons, Nathan Quay Thomas, Katie Thompson, and Brent Thiessen.

Wanted features book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri, a real-life descendant of the Clarke sisters, music by Ross Baum, direction by Stevie Walker-Webb, music direction by Paul Byssainthe Jr., 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.”

Previews begin October 15, ahead of a November 8 opening.
