Hello Loretta,
After reading how the characters in this musical came to you and told you their story it struck me that the characters in my screenplays come to life in the very same way. Good on you for listening to these visitors and capturing their spirit and story. I also listened to Sixty Years of Queen and was captured in the romanticism of the Victorian Era in your music. I will keep an eye and ear out for you and wish you the best of luck!

I have known Loretta for many years and have always been impressed by the singable and timeless quality of her melodies. As a lyricist and author her work is truly outstanding. I sincerely believe that she has a great deal of classic and sensitive work to offer. Alan Arnold, Composer and Arranger

Hello Loretta,
I have listened to your musical samples on the Characters page.
They are charming and very nicely made.
You have captured the flavor of the period and its various styles of music, parlor, pageant, and stage/music hall rather well...you have a good ear for that style and evident craft.

Loretta,
Your musical sounds like a great project! But I would like to say that what I heard for the samples sounds like you're already on your way.
I realize you want the songs which currently are piano and voice only to be more richly orchestrated, but the music which plays on the Home page sounds like you've already gotten it nicely orchestrated, and the music which plays on the Synopsis page is so appropriately "Gaslight Piano" sound that I don't think you should change that to an orchestral sound at all.
Most enjoyable and well created!
I look forward to seeing and hearing it produced.

I cannot stop listening to your posts...the songs do not leave my head. The words and music are filled with emotion and a longing for both nostalgia and England as I remember it.............this will make a most welcome musical and a glorious and much awaited film.
Thank you to the author composer, Loretta Kay-Feld, she has an obvious gift for melody and makes the Victorian Era come to life.

Absolutely enjoy these songs...one does not hear such lovely songs as you have posted.
I also went to your website and, I must say, the author/composer, Loretta Kay-Feld has an incredible amount of talent..... I sincerely hope this production is put on full scale in all its glory! Am totally amazed by viewing and hearing something so beautiful! 
I will be first in line to purchase tickets to this production whether in the theatre or film.
Congratulations to Loretta.

I have watched all the videos and think that the musical is excellent.
This should be shown by the media and on stage expecially as Victorianna is very popular and our own Queen will be celebrating her diamond jubillee mext year.
Thank you for posting...great work

Sixty Years a Queen...it almost reflects the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth which, I believe will be celebrated next year. What a perfect time for this musical to be produced. I really enjoyed the lyrics, music and the photos...a perfect song for a perfect Jubilee Celebration. Thanks....keep posting.

This is a wonderful concept for a musical. I hope they make it into a film as well - I am in love with the Victorian Era.

Another original video with music and lyrics which certainly make the characters come alive.  I have also listened to the other three videos, and now seriously look forward to seeing this musical on stage as soon as possible. There is currently a great deal of interest in the Victorian era and this will certainly make a stunning musical. I thank you again for posting such amazing work.
