Madison Wells Media

Madison Wells Media

Gigi Pritzker founded Madison Wells Media, an independent entertainment company rooted in the Pritzker family wealth. The firm, with offices in Century City and New York, operates across film/TV development, live stage production, and audio content. Madison Wells Media invests across multiple entertainment verticals: it produces and co-finances films and television via Madison Wells Studios, develops Broadway and West End stage productions through Madison Wells Live, and operates an audio production arm. The portfolio includes the Oscar-winning film The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Netflix's Nonnas, Sundance Audience Award winner Prime Minister, and Tony-nominated theater productions like Hadestown, Swept Away, and Jaja's African Hair Braiding (per the firm). It also holds stakes in streaming platform Mubi and podcast network Lemonada Media. Geographically, the firm is active in the United States and globally, with stage productions on Broadway, the West End, and international tours. The firm has not disclosed AUM or team size. Its most publicly visible operational event is the ongoing development of a slate of stage productions for Broadway and beyond, as noted on its website. Gigi Pritzker is the sole named principal; her Pritzker family background provides the capital base. Madison Wells Media operates as a single-family office structure tied to her branch of the family. Unlike many family offices that invest passively through funds, Madison Wells takes an active operating-company approach: it develops its own intellectual property and manages production across studios, live venues, and audio platforms, effectively functioning as a vertically integrated entertainment company rather than a passive capital allocator.
