6. Ensemble Vedette VS. Chœur Ensemble
You are ALL very important to this production.
Vedette - Meaning “Featured”
Vedette will be used on the stage in secondary roles, dance/crowd scenes, and in narration solos.
Choeur - Meaning “Choir”
Choeur will be on stage for the ENTIRE show. They will sing in all ensemble numbers. (More than 75% of the show)
There will be some Choeur members who may be featured in some ways. This will be determined during the rehearsal process. (Playing instruments, Special skills that can add to the show, Etc.)
