In 2017, the company morphed into MWM (Madison Wells Media) and now goes by Madison Wells, a multi-platform entity involved in film, TV, interactive media, publishing and live entertainment. Its theater division has backed productions including “Seven Deadly Sins,” the Tony winner “Hadestown” and a Broadway revival of “Company,” starring Patti LuPone and Katrina Lenk.
