Bradley Jaden, known for his acclaimed turn as Javert in "Les Misérables: The Arena Concert Spectacular," is set to make his Broadway debut this autumn in the new musical "Wanted." The announcement, revealed exclusively by Variety, marks a significant career milestone for Jaden, who has previously performed in West End productions but not yet on Broadway itself.

Jaden will join a cast that includes Solea Pfeiffer, Liisi LaFontaine, Luke James and Ledisi, playing a character named Jesse alongside Ledisi's Tallulah. "Wanted" is set in Texas in 1893 and follows twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke, Black women passing for white, as they fight to protect their family's legacy. The show, with book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri and music by Ross Baum, is directed by Stevie Walker-Webb, with previews beginning 15 October at the James Earl Jones Theatre ahead of an 8 November opening.
