Weird Cast Recording Question

Was looking at the "Rent" 20th Anniversary Tour news and got to thinking about the OBC cast album, remembering how they had listed the swings (Simone, David Driver, Yasmin Alers, etc.) in the cast list... As, I guess, many do. But I wondered something... Something I've never really thought of before.

Do swings ever get a chance in any known cast recording to fill out vocals in ensemble or group numbers? Or do they maintain what the original cast "sound" is? I mean, sure, you could fill out some vocals here and there. But with something like "Seasons of Love" in "Rent" with 15, even just adding 6 would alter the sound.

I guess I wonder, for instance, if at any point, I am listening to Simone or Yasmin buried in those vocals?

But beyond the "Rent" OBC, does anyone know of any recordings where Swings get to do background/Ensemble vocals or do Swings not get a shot at all?

It depends on the show, and whether there is money to pay them.

A Chorus Line. All those eliminated dancers had to do something.

It seems like it's become common to consider swings as ensemble members for media and recording situations. In the case of many shows I know of that are within the past decade, swings recorded with the ensemble.

Producers with a heart will include the swings because they're part of the family.
