A pit singer is a member of the cast who sings but is not seen onstage, usually to provide vocal backup. They are used in many shows, such as "A Chorus Line" or "Wicked". Generally they are used because there are big numbers that need lots of voices but there is no chorus onstage at that point. In some cases, there are no chorus in the show at all, as in the case of "Company", but they still need vocal backup in certain songs. Some actors or singers may refuse to take parts like this because they are not seen onstage, but usually the role does require good singers.
