Get in touchGet in touchSing Out, Louise! Productions is an entertainment company specializing in live theatrical production, stage-to-screen film, and theatrical general management.
We aim to elevate never-before-told voices and stories in innovative, boundary-pushing ways. Sing Out, Louise! was the lead producer of the Broadway musical and subsequent film of Allegiance, starring George Takei and Lea Salonga, based on the true events of Mr. Takei’s life — and later the box-office-breaking London run where Takei made his West End debut at 86.
Our co-productions span some of the most celebrated work of the last decade — Hadestown, The Inheritance, A Strange Loop, Slave Play, & Juliet, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Notebook, and Days of Wine & Roses, which we also lead-produced. Today we’re developing original musicals including Indigo, Midnight at the Palace, and Relentless, and bringing the Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! toward Broadway.
We pioneered Broadway’s Priority Access Pass and the Trek to Broadway webseries — firsts that reframed how shows reach their fans.
We helped build George Takei’s social-media following to 25M+ and launched Allegiance with one of the largest online audiences of any new Broadway show of its time.
Theatre, film, and general management under one roof — so a story can live on stage, on screen, and on tour.
