NATALIE REBECCA LOVEJOY
ABOUT
Natalie Rebecca Lovejoy is a composer, lyricist and bookwriter known for her work in musical theatre, described by producers, performers, literary managers, master teachers, and peers as “brilliant,” “phenomenal,” “sophisticated,” “expressive,” “deep,” “glorious,” and “divine.” Her debut musical Deployed premiered in New York in 2013 at the Abingdon Theatre, and went on to have a full production at the Gene Frankel Theatre in 2014, in addition to performances at 54 Below, Lincoln Center, Poetic Theatre Productions, New York New Works Festival, and the Gallery Players, and was a semi-finalist in the New York New Works Theatre Festival in 2016.
Since then she has contributed songs to the musicals Hall Pass (Blindspot Collective), Club Meds (Mad Horse Theatre Company), and So Proudly We Hailed (New Musicals Inc), which won the Best Musical, Opera & Cabaret Award at the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Her work has been recognized in the Wikipedia list of musical composers.
Her latest musical, House of Fallen Women, weaves together the lives of women in history who have been remembered as cautionary tales, treating their stories with complexity and revealing the hidden experiences behind their labels.
Natalie holds a Master of Music in music theory and composition from New York University, where she studied privately under Dr. Steven Rosenhaus, co-author of Writing Musical Theatre and composition teacher to Joe Iconis. She is also a proud alumna of the Lehman Engel BMI Workshop, where her classmates included Benjamin Valez (Real Women Have Curves), Deb Laufer, Drew Gasparini, and Jonathan Reid Gealt, and an alumna of the Johnny Mercer Songwriters Project, where she studied with Craig Carnelia and Andrew Lippa.
Natalie approaches musical theatre writing from a humanist perspective and enjoys blending diverse musical elements to pioneer new ways of telling stories through song.
