You know, I love the theatre, particularly musical theatre and last night I was watching a great show (Hairspray, my wife loved it much more than me!) and I really took notice of the ensemble. Now, I hear you ask, what are ensemble roles? Well, to grab someone’s definition from the net, ensemble members help bring the world of musicals and operas to life by performing intricate dance parts, adding their voices to full-company musical numbers, and acting out background parts.
And that sums it up very well.
Whilst the stars of the show were downstage (theatrical term for front of stage!) acting, singing and dancing their hearts out, the ensemble members, around 16 of them, were there in the background (upstage) also singing and dancing to support the stars. And doing it so well that you hardly noticed them but collectively it made the show.
It got me thinking… how well do the ensemble members of your businesses perform?
What do they do in the background that makes doing business with you memorable?
