From a surreal musical satire featuring much-loved American rogues like Billy The Kid and Ma Barker to a bitter takedown of the Iraq War and its toll on one family, these four plays by David Epstein expose painful home truths about our nation's soul.
"There is a fine, lovely and lyric madness at the Cherry Lane Theater. It is called Wanted, it is by David Epstein and Al Carmines, and, at last, it restores the art of the musical to the Off-Broadway theater. This is a musical that is new, engrossing and has a surging vitality that takes all before it. . . . . It's that rare thing, a show that is as funny as it is provocative. I recommend it wholeheartedly."-Clive Barnes, New York Times
"Myth becomes cartoon, cartoon myth. . . . Wanted doesn't lecture anybody, though. It is content to reflect a rooty‐toot-toot gaiety we, as a people, seem actually to feel-reflected in gags and high kicks and pin‐spots and drum‐rolls."-Walter Kerr, New York Times
"Rousing theatre!"-Douglas Watt, The Daily News
