Acting in Plays, Singing/"Little Shop of Horrors"

Question
Hello, again!  Well, my parents "okayed" going to a vocal coach as long as it's not too expensive.  And my play director is understanding if I'd end up missing the occasional rehearsal.  Well, I was just wondering, if you knew which part in the three-part harmony Ronette plays in Little Shop of Horrors.  I'm completely stumped.  The girl that plays Crystal in our play is DEFINITELY an alto (and she's an awesome singer)and I can't imagine the girl that plays Chiffon being a Soprano. I'm not a real soprano as far as I know, but I think I'd be better at a soprano part than anyone else in the threesome.  Anyway...do you happen to know which part Ronette sings?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi Kelly.  That's great!  I'm so glad that they okayed it.  Did you check into prices?  Have you gotten testimonies from anyone who takes voice lessons so you know who is doing a good job?  Be sure that you compare before you decide on a coach, ok?

I'm sorry.  I have no idea what part Ronnette sings.  Sorry.  You could probably check the music in your local library to find out.  That's my best advice.

Keep well!
