Bradley Jaden, who just wrapped an acclaimed run as Javert in “Les Misérables: The Arena Concert Spectacular,” is making his Broadway debut in the fall.

The actor is joining the company of “Wanted” alongside the previously announced cast of Solea Pfeiffer, Liisi LaFontaine, Luke James and Ledisi.

Described as a “soulful and dangerous” and “mostly-true” new musical, “Wanted” takes place in Texas 1893 and picks up with twins Mary and Martha Clarke on the run. Here’s the official logline: “The sisters, Black women who pass for white and hide in plain sight, 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.”
