Ms. Chevalier has shared the stage with such legends as The Whispers, Patti Labelle, Luther Vandross and Arturo Sandoval. Her tremendous vocal and performing talents led to her casting by the playwright and choreographer, Debbie Allen in the theatric production of Soul Possessed, starring world renowned recording artists, Patti Labelle, and trumpet player, Arturo Sandoval.
