I would love to know what different instrumentations have been used successfully in Seussical. We are preparing to assemble our ensemble and we don't have a wealth of instrumentalists to draw from. What would you consider the basic ensemble and what would give you the best bang for your buck after that basic group? I would appreciate any information and advice!-Greg

For bass guitar: is there a bass guitar part or does the bassist use the bass (double bass) book?

When we performed Seussical, we used a piano, drumset, clarinet, trumpet, flute and bass guitar. It sounded great.
