To get the bad stuff out of the way first, because there's not a lot of it: when you are doing a musical, and your instruments are composed of anything more than an acoustic guitar and/or an upright piano, you need to mic your actors. When your band is playing amplified, electric instruments, that's especially true. Neither of the two singer/actors in were consistently amplified (handheld microphones were reserved for those scenes in which the duo was playing at a venue), and, if I hadn't been sitting about five feet from the stage, I'd imagine I would have been very annoyed with BCKSEET. It's not that the two actors, G DeCandia and Gregg Pica, didn't have powerful voices. It's not even that they weren't loud. It's simply that the unamplified human voice can't really compete with amplified electric instruments, unless they're in another room. I know that renting body mics is expensive—I was in charge of costing them out for the last show I worked on—but it's well worth the expense, in what the audience gets out of them. If BCKSEET is adamantly against or unable to mic the actors, though, it should consider turning the speakers from the pit way, way down.

being launched in Philadelphia in the coming weeks, we thought it only fitting that this week’s quote be one of the play’s most famous. Petruchio, the show’s unlikely hero, is explaining to a friend why he has come to Padua: “I come to wive it wealthily in Padua;/ If wealthily, then happily in Padua.” In other words, he’s a gold digger. Now, on with the listings!

This holiday sure can suck if you haven't found that perfect partner, mistress, or craigslist missed connection to share it with. It's cool, don't resign yourself to an evening of watching Lifetime alone just yet, because BCKSEET Productions is gearing up for the third annual anti-Valentines Day concert/singer/songwriter competition.
