The musician tapped dozens of her fellow alumni to help create Together Apart, a collection of 10 mini-musicals that explore moments during the pandemic year. There are also songs by Grammy-winner Gordon Chambers.

Group reunions on Zoom have rarely become the fuel for good art. But one has created a musical – actually 10, to be precise.

"People really had the passion to connect and to tell these stories and to work together. So it created a lot of purpose during this time. And, for a lot of people, it created an opportunity to be creative," says Loeb. "As everybody went around the room, in my head I felt like I was almost in a musical already," she says."So I said, 'You know, instead of just talking about these musical theater memories, we should write a show.'"

The original Zoom group expanded – alumni from Germany, Italy and across the US contributed – and the final product featured show biz amateurs and professionals, like Julie Bowen from Modern Family, Josh Hamilton from 13 Reasons Why, Broadway veteran Ann Harada and Hollywood fixture JoBeth Williams.
