Bloom
Music by Peter Foley
Lyrics by Matthew Heimer
Book by Andy Siegel
Story by Kevin Mayes
An entire nation bets its financial future…on a tulip!
In this madcap, romantic musical comedy set in 17th century Holland during the legendary “tulip mania,” when fortunes and lives were made or lost on the trade of a single flower, Bloom follows the passionate travails of a quartet of characters, each with their own reason to claim the rare and renowned Semper Augustus flower for themselves—love, riches, fame, freedom. With a musical score inspired by the Beatles, XTC, and a touch of the Baroque, Bloom features a large ensemble of colorful characters with big dreams and crazy schemes.
