During his tenure working for Scott Rudin Productions, he and Rudin worked on a number of critically acclaimed movies, including Uncut Gems (2019), Annihilation (2018), Eighth Grade (2018), Lady Bird (2017), and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011).[4] On Broadway, he won four Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Play: for Death of a Salesman (2012), A Raisin in the Sun (2014), Skylight (2015), and A View from the Bridge (2016).[5] He also won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2017 for Hello, Dolly! as well as the Tony Award for Best Play in 2016 for producing The Humans.[5] He was nominated for the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program for co-producing School of Rock.[6]

In April 2021 stories in The Hollywood Reporter and "Vulture"alleged numerous instances of abuse from Rudin towards employees, including physical violence. Following the allegations, Rudin announced that he would be "stepping back" to "work on personal issues I should have long ago."[7][8] The Vulture story reported that Bush had left Scott Rudin Productions the previous week.

In 2022 Bush executive produced Jerrod Carmichael's stand-up special Rothaniel on HBO.[9] The special was subsequently nominated for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special and Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special.[10]
