The original Chorus, known as the "Chorus of the Twelve," was composed of twelve members. This group performed in ancient Greek theater, particularly in tragedies, where they would sing and dance to provide commentary on the action of the play. The size and role of the Chorus varied over time, but the twelve-member format is often seen as the standard in early Greek drama.

The choragus, or chorus leader, has the unique role of guiding and directing the chorus during performances, often interpreting the script and conveying the emotional tone of the piece. Unlike other chorus members, the choragus may also have the responsibility of speaking solo lines or delivering important messages to the audience, thereby bridging the gap between the chorus and the narrative. Additionally, the choragus often plays a key role in coordinating movements and ensuring cohesive performances, which sets them apart from the rest of the chorus.

As of 2013, only one original member of The Fortunes, a British pop group formed in the 1960s, was alive. The group experienced several lineup changes over the years, and many of the original members had passed away by that time. The remaining member was primarily involved in keeping the band's legacy alive through performances and nostalgia for their music.
Interact directly with non-chorus characters is what the chorus leader can do that the other chorus members cannot do in ancient Greek theater.Specifically, the chorus is made up of respected, wise elders. Its members instruct the audience by explaining offstage and past events as well as onstage happenings. They entertain by dancing and singing across the stage. But they cannot interact directly with characters outside the chorus. Only the chorus leader can interact with both chorus and non-chorus members in the play.

The chorus in Romeo and Juliet is one person. Although a director could decide to have more than one person saying the chorus's lines, it was not designed that way. The function of the Chorus in Greek drama was to comment on what was going on in the play, and consisted of a group or groups of people. Shakespeare retained the function but not the form; his chorus comments on the action but does not consist of a group of people.
