In 2010, Sophie-Louise played the role of Diana Divane in the new musical Lend Me a Tenor at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth. The production subsequently transferred to the West End in June 2011 in which Dann reprised her role. She received great acclaim for her performance, with Michael Billington proclaiming "Sophie-Louise Dann seizes her moment and gives wonderfully over-the-top potted parodies of Tosca, Violetta and Carmen, while hugging the walls and clawing the furniture in the manner of an old-style soprano". She was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

In 2014, Sophie-Louise played Barbara Castle in the world premiere production of Made in Dagenham. In 2015, she originated the role of Paula in Bend It Like Beckham the Musical at the Phoenix Theatre, London, replacing Ronni Ancona during the rehearsal process.

In 2017, Sophie-Louise played the role of Celia in the West End production of The Girls, a role which she had previously played when the production first premiered at the Grand Theatre, Leeds and The Lowry, Salford. For this role she was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical alongside fellow cast members Joanna Riding, Claire Moore, Claire Machin, Debbie Chazen and Michelle Dotrice.
