Overview
- Bradley Jaden joined the cast Wednesday and will play Jesse, making his Broadway debut after a widely noted run as Javert in the Les Misérables arena concert tour.
- Wanted will begin previews at the James Earl Jones Theatre on October 15 and officially open on November 8, with full additional casting to be announced.
- The announced principal cast pairs Solea Pfeiffer as Mary Clarke and Liisi LaFontaine as Martha Clarke with Ledisi as Tallulah Clarke and Luke James as Elijah, and features Aurelia Williams and Awa Sal Secka reprising earlier roles.
- The creative team includes book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri, music by Ross Baum, direction by Stevie Walker-Webb, and choreography by Chelsey Arce, and the show foregrounds the 1893 story of Black twin sisters who pass for white.
- Wanted, formerly titled Gun & Powder, moved through a Paper Mill Playhouse premiere and a 2025 workshop, and this Broadway mounting will test how the piece translates from regional development to a larger commercial stage and audience.
