Highest Notes for Chorus?

This is kind of a weird question, but if anyone can answer it, I'd be very grateful: does anyone know the highest notes (soprano) that the chorus has to go up to? Listening to the music, it sounds as if "Get me to the church on time" has a high C at the end, but I can't be postive. Is it there, and if it is, does it simply go to the highest soprano, or is a particular name part given the role?
If this request seems odd, I'll explain a bit: I didn't get the lead in MFL, but, having one of the strongest and well-trained soprano voice in the whole cast, I've still got a bit of Prima Donna status (I'm a stronger singer than our Eliza, but her voice has that pleasant, airy quality that would endear her to audiences). Not many in the cast can hit a high C, and I'm thinking, if that is a note in the score, I'll have a good chance of being assigned it. Thanks to any who can answer this. If you can't, that's okay, because I only have about a month to wait for my script.

I sang the high note!!!! when I was in the chorus..and it might have been a B??..or a C..I don't know they didn't tell us..but they just asked us who could hit it and then assigned it..it was me and a few other women..I think three total. possibly four..out Mrs.Pearce was in the number too..but she had some really quick changes..I loved "Get me to the Church"..definitely one of the best nuimbers for the ensemble Very Happy

Thanks! I'd love to sing that note, but for some reason, my MD's never put any more than one person on a note higher than G, which I find odd. That makes for intense competition between high sopranos. I imagine I have a chance, since most of our "sopranos" can't even dream about hitting a High C (or B), but it would mean a quick costume change.
