A View From The Back: The Corps, Chorus and House Troupe Perspective
L’Opéra de Paris refers to it as the Corps de Ballet, in Broadway’s Wicked it is known as the Chorus, while Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE’s stage manager calls them House Troupe. Three different names for one important group of people that get the most stage time and form the majority of any cast. This is where most artists make their stage debuts and the more ambitious want to spend as little time as possible.
