Frederick Loewe had tijdens zijn muzikale opleiding beroemde leraars, waaronder Eugen d’Albert, Ferrucio Busoni en Nikolaus von Reznicek.

Sinds 1935 wijdde Loewe zich aan het muziektheater.

Camelot, the follow up to Lerner and Loewe's smash hit My Fair Lady, is based on T.H. White's novel The Once and Future King.
The novel--which deals with the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table--actually consists of four books, and the rights to the first of these books (The Sword and the Stone) had already been purchased by Disney.
So Lerner and Loewe acquired the rights to the last three books and focused on Arthur's later years and the love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot.
