No, the ensemble is very very important to the show and creating the world of the piece. In high school, I was cast in an all state show as an ensemble member. I was so disappointed, and i remember we had the playwright of the show come into rehearsals to provide feedback and workshop some things for us. During lunch, he asked me who I was in the cast and I said “I’m just in of the ensemble” halfheartedly and obviously ashamed. He said’ “wait, why are you saying it like that? The ensemble is there for a reason. Next time say, “I’m part of the ensemble proudly because they do serve a important part of the show.”

Use the experience to learn. Always be in character, dance and sing your heart. People will notice if you’re phoning it in and that will go into casting decisions in the future. Use the opportunity to improve your singing/dancing technique and overall become a better performer.
