You might’ve heard the train rolled on through SoHo this week, and baby when I tell you it did not come to play. The band set up, the mics were hot, and WANTED Unplugged turned that spot all the way out.
Truth be told, it was only missin’ one thing: all of our Vault fam in the room.
But don’t even worry, we got you. Every note, every run, every moment — caught on camera, just for you.
Go on and take a peek at some highlights above, and be on the lookout. Full concert droppin’ right here in The Vault for a limited time — stay tuned.
Shout-out to our Vault fam, Courtney, who won the concert ticket giveaway!
Now lean in real close…
Grammy Award winner Ledisi is officially climbing aboard the WANTED train to Broadway, joining the cast as Tallulah Clarke!
“I am beyond thrilled to join the cast of WANTED —my first Broadway principal role, and I still can’t believe it” Ledisi says. “I keep thinking about the journey, God’s timing, and the importance of legacy. I’m grateful to Angelica Chéri, Ross Baum, Stevie Walker-Webb, and our producers for trusting me with the role of Tallulah, and to my family, friends, and team for giving me the courage to say yes. I love being a recording artist, and that will never change. Theater has always been part of my vision as a storyteller. This isn’t a pivot… It’s another expansion of me. And I’m just getting started.”
