In Losing Louie, secrets refuse to remain buried as Jewish and non-Jewish family members are brought together after years of separation. The funeral of their father Louis is the catalyst for a showdown in the bedroom—the place where all the confusion began. The show was a huge critical success in the UK.

Losing Louie, directed by Jerry Zaks, will begin previews at the Biltmore Theatre on September 21 and officially open on October 12.
