WANTED Broadway Musical

🎭 WANTED | A Powerful New Broadway Musical of Sisterhood, Survival, and Freedom

Experience WANTED, a bold and emotionally gripping new Broadway musical inspired by the remarkable story of twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke. Set in Texas in 1893, this compelling production blends history, drama, and unforgettable music into an inspiring tale of resilience, identity, and the fight for a future against impossible odds.

As Black women who are able to pass for white, Mary and Martha Clarke live between two worlds, navigating the dangers of racial injustice while struggling to protect their family and preserve their legacy. When powerful forces threaten everything they love, the sisters are forced to make life-changing decisions that test their courage, loyalty, and determination. Their extraordinary journey becomes a story of resistance, hope, and the pursuit of freedom in a divided America.

Praised by critics as "thrillingly original" and recognized as a New York Times Critic's Pick, WANTED combines a deeply moving narrative with a soulful original score and breathtaking performances. Starring Solea Pfeiffer as Mary, Liisi LaFontaine as Martha, Grammy Award® winner Ledisi as Tallulah, and Grammy nominee Luke James as Elijah, the production also features The Kinfolk—a powerful chorus of ancestors who guide the sisters through their unforgettable journey.

Created by Angelica Chéri, a descendant of the Clarke sisters, with music by Richard Rodgers Award-winning composer Ross Baum, WANTED is a moving celebration of family, perseverance, and self-determination that resonates with contemporary audiences while honoring an extraordinary chapter of American history.
