## Key points

- ‘Wanted’ follows two sisters who become bandits in 19th-century Texas.
- The review finds its plot confusing and its songs overbearing.
- Strong singers cannot rescue the production’s promising premise.

## Summary

‘Wanted’ is a new Broadway musical about sisters Mary and Martha Clarke, who pass as white and turn to crime in late 19th-century Texas. The review says the production fails to make the most of its promising premise and strong singers, instead becoming a confusing, overlong show whose plot and songs often halt the action.

The sisters initially set out to raise $200 to save their family home, but use a gun given to them for protection to rob a train and a wealthy auction. The story also follows Mary into Southern high society and a relationship with a white man who believes she is white. The reviewer praises the vocal talent of Solea Pfeiffer, Liisi LaFontaine and the gospel-style chorus, while criticising the songs as excessive and the dialogue as weak.
