ABOUT

Natalie Rebecca Lovejoy is a composer/lyricist and playwright 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.

 

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.

 

In 2022, she released her first full album of original piano solos, Piano Love, which can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and more.

 

Her latest musical, House of Fallen Women, weaves together the lives of women in history who have been labeled as cautionary tales, treating their stories with complexity and depth, and revealing the rich, multifaceted experiences behind their labels.​​

 

Natalie approaches musical theatre writing from a humanist perspective and enjoys blending diverse musical elements to pioneer new ways of telling stories through song.
