Rochelle Collins lives in Las Vegas, NV where she has been a performer for Cirque Du Soleil for 19 years, first for the show MYSTERE, and currently for KA. Her work as a vocalist puts her onstage (and over stage) in the spotlight, but she also performs as accompaniment to the action (in other words, as a pit musician). She talks about what it's like to rehearse and perform a show for Cirque, and we also briefly discuss her other theatre career with shows such as Oklahoma, Into the Woods, Fiddler on the Roof, and other shows and operas. You can hear a sample of Rochelle's work with Cirque du Soleil at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXEXkBZtJCg
