Woliver acknowledged that the initial decisions regarding the show’s music came with certain challenges, such as licensing issues that led to the choice for an all-original score. He emphasized, "It was not only expensive and prohibitive [to license them], but time-consuming. I realized that...having an original score is more meaningful and more credible." This shift represented a pivotal moment, redirecting the production's creative direction toward original music that encapsulated the essence of Folk City.
Originally, the show featured a blend of iconic protest songs from the '60s, including tracks like 'Blowin' In the Wind' and 'Sounds of Silence.' Woliver's choice to pivot towards crafting an original score not only addressed practical concerns but also aimed to establish a deeper connection with the audience, as he noted, "It was...another reason to go in this direction. Plus, it's more meaningful and more credible having an original score."
