Sh-K-Boom Records

Sh-K-Boom Records is an independent record label and producer of recorded and live entertainment, which was founded in 2000 by Kurt Deutsch with the mission of bridging the gap between pop music and theater. In 2004 Sh-K-Boom created their second imprint, Ghostlight Records, dedicated to the preservation of traditional musical theater, spurred by the popular release of their first-ever show cast recording, Jason Robert Brown's ''The Last Five Years''. Together the two labels have over 200 albums in their catalogues. The company has also produced over 50 live concerts as part of their Sh-K-Boom Room Concert Series, and are currently developing new and innovative projects for the stage and screen.

Sh-K-Boom and Ghostlight Records are twelve-time Grammy Award nominees and four-time Grammy winners in the Best Musical Theater Album category for ''In the Heights'', ''The Book of Mormon'' and ''Beautiful: The Carole King Musical''. Ghostlight's ''Book of Mormon'' album was the first Broadway cast recording to break into the Billboard Top 10 since the original 1969 release of ''Hair'', taking its place as the biggest-selling digital cast recording of all time. The label's Original Broadway Cast Album for ''In the Heights'' also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Cast Albums chart and arrived on the ''Billboard'' 200 at #82.

In June 2017, Sh-K-Boom entered a joint venture with Warner Music Group's Arts Music division.

Sh-K-Boom and Ghostlight Records have produced and released the debut solo albums of Broadway stars such as Adam Pascal, Sherie Rene Scott, Patti LuPone, Sutton Foster, Kelli O'Hara, Alice Ripley, Melissa Errico, Billy Porter, Ben Vereen, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Judy Kuhn, Christine Ebersole, Julia Murney, Ashley Brown, Linda Lavin, Lea Delaria, Anastasia Barzee, and Klea Blackhurst.
