The singing is PHENOMENAL and I usually hate musicals.
"I was mesmerized from the opening scene. There was never a dull moment. I was fully engaged with every scene. When this show goes the distance, I hope the cast from October 28, 2026 can remain for a long time. I want to follow these characters to their next opportunity. They are that good! The backstory is not unique, but the actions that took place and by whom... was a refreshing perspective in spite of their behavior. I LOVED it and I want to see it again. The music was WONDERFUL and the well known artists were two of the MANY astounding vocal talents! GO SEE IT!!"

Amazing Performance
"The performance was amazing! You are transferred into the 1800’s from the start. I loved that you could follow the storyline and the scenes depicted true to life situations from that era but subliminally fed positive messages to promote self worth!
Just an amazing show!!"

Money & Time Well Spent
"We traveled from Virginia to NYC (after Ledisi mentioned the play at an event we'd attended) to see/experience Wanted, and can say with 100% certainty, that it was well worth the effort!
The storyline was cohesive, with beautifully implanted comedic elements, accentuated by beautiful/outstanding voices.
A treat for the senses! Nicely done!"

WOW!!! JUST WOW!!!
"What can I say?..Except that I felt privileged to see this talented cast during their premier performance. Fantastic show!! The set design is minimal but still manages to be amazingly captivating, utilizing lights, shadows and projected images to convey the look and emotions during this time period. Everyone in this cast can "Sang!!" 🙌🏾 No lies told. The story moves along at a steady pace. There are no lulls or boring parts. I truly hope that people come out and support "Black Broadway"! This show deserves a lengthy run. BRAVO!"

About
Wanted
Texas, 1893 — Twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke are on the run. As Black women who pass for white and hide in plain sight, they 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 nevertheless fight for self-determination, dignity, and the inheritance they have long been denied.
A soulful and dangerous new Broadway musical, Wanted is the mostly true story of Mary and Martha Clarke: sisters, outlaws, legends. This New York Times Critic’s Pick has been hailed as “thrillingly original” with an “audacious and rollicking story.” The production stars Solea Pfeiffer as Mary and Liisi LaFontaine as Martha, with Grammy® winner Ledisi as Tallulah and Grammy nominee Luke James as Elijah. The Kinfolk, a vibrant chorus of ancestors, guide them forward on an odyssey of sisterhood, rebellion, and freedom.
Wanted features book and lyrics by Variety “Star to Watch” Angelica Chéri, a descendant of the Sisters Clarke, and music by Richard Rodgers Award–winning composer Ross Baum. The production is directed by Tony Award® nominee and Obie Award® winner Stevie Walker-Webb, with choreography by Chelsey Arce.
