Eleanor the Musical
Three years in the making. Written, composed, and created by Vituia.
Eleanor is an original musical inspired by the life, relationships, and private emotional world of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, including the historical controversy and speculation surrounding her close relationship with women and the possibility of a romantic relationship with Lorena Hickok.
This is a story about love, identity, freedom, and the courage to live honestly in a world that may not be ready to accept you.
I spent three years writing and developing Eleanor. I wrote the music, lyrics, script, arrangements, characters, and story myself. The creative work behind this musical is mine.
For complete transparency: the vocals on this recording have been replaced/assisted with AI-generated vocals. The AI was used as a production tool for the vocal performances; it did not write the music, lyrics, script, story, or arrangements.
I own the copyright and publishing rights to my original work and have registered my musical works with BMI.
Eleanor is more than an album. It is the recorded foundation for my goal of bringing this story to the stage in a live Off-Broadway production.
I am currently working toward making that production possible through a GoFundMe campaign, with the goal of raising the funds necessary to develop and produce Eleanor for a live audience.
Three years of writing.
One original story.
One musical about love that refused to stay hidden.
Eleanor deserves to be heard.more
