Wanted on Broadway tickets
About Wanted
See this "thrillingly original new musical” with “a powerhouse score," per The New York Times in a Critic's Pick review. Wanted on Broadway tells the mostly true story of Mary and Martha Clarke: sisters, outlaws, legends. In 1893 Texas, the sisters try to settle their mother's sharecropper debt, going to extraordinary means to clear her name and win back their house.
Wanted in New York is a true legacy story: it features book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri (a real-life descendant of the Sisters Clarke) plus music by Ross Baum. Obie Award winner and Tony Award nominee Stevie Walker-Webb (Ain’t No Mo’ on Broadway) directs this fresh musical, which features choreography from Chelsey Arce.
In Wanted, two sisters disguise themselves to fight for what is rightfully theirs in post-Civil War Texas. Resisting racism and persecution, the two sisters move forward to clear their name and fight for their mother's honor. Audiences can expect a sweeping American story in this moving and smart musical, which was previously titled Gun & Powder during its acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse run.
“We’re thrilled to unveil the new title Wanted as we head toward Broadway,” said producers P3 Productions (Ben Holtzman, Sammy Lopez, Fiona Rudin) and TRATE Productions (Robyn Coles and Evan Coles) in a statement. “This project has grown and evolved over the past few years, and we feel this new title best reflects the musical and story in its final form. Following our run at Paper Mill Playhouse, we believe the show’s story of resilience and perseverance is timelier than ever, and we remain committed to championing this bold, original, and action-packed new musical.”
