You could do it with upright bass, but would recommend electric bass. There&#8217;s so many rock grooves in this musical that I think you&#8217;ll want that punch. Also nice to have a consistent sound for your audio technician to work with (mixing the kick and bass guitar to complement each other).<\/p>\n<p>For me the best description for doing the music in Seussical is &#8220;whirlwind&#8221; &#8211; The music has very few breaks and switches up feels a lot. It was one of my favorite musicals to work on. I think you&#8217;ll have a blast!<\/p>\n<p>Let me know if you have any other questions &#8211; it makes me feel smart when I can actually answer them.<\/p>\n<p>Conrad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question received: I am doing a production of Seussical the Musical this summer and had a few questions&#8230; does the score call for upright AND electric bass, or just electric?
