“One of the reasons I went into theater was that I wanted to write lots of different kinds of music. I love lots of different kinds of music. And I thought, oh, this is great, each show will give me an excuse—I really take it as a mandate—to write in a different style. I feel like I managed to stay pretty true to that goal. I don’t think many people would think that the composer of Bloom was the composer of The Names We Gave Him.” — Peter Foley
