Rosemary began her singing career in the back seat of a station wagon with her other six brothers and sisters. Her father would take the family on Sunday drives and the concert would begin.
Loar's theatrical expertise was honed on Broadway and in national tours, in shows like Sunset Boulevard, Cats (critically acclaimed as Grizabella), You Can't Take It With You, Chess, Once Upon A Mattress, (understudy to Queen Aggravain) Encore and 42nd Street (understudy Dorothy Brock.) She originated the role of Gladys Fritts (a quirky flapper with a penchant for poetry, operatic singing and handsome men), in Radio Gals at the John Houseman Theatre.
As a recording artist she can be heard on Sting's soundtrack for the movie The Emperor's New Groove, the cast albums of Chess and Sunset Boulevard and on the Listening Library series.
Her debut CD ALTERNATIVE TORCH was released in 1996, her second, THROUGH WOMEN'S EYES was produced in 1997 to benefit Susan G. Komen Foundation. WATER FROM THE MOON released in 2003 is also the score of Rosemary's original rock musical by the same name: produced by the Grammy award winning Joel Moss (soundtrack for Chicago).
