Mario Lopez is Broadway Bound!
On March 4, A Chorus Line producer John Breglio announced that Mario Lopez will be joining the cast of the famed Broadway revival starting April 15.
The Dancing with the Stars finalist is set to play Zach, the show's impossibly demanding director, a role he feels perfectly suited for.
"Every actor dreams about appearing on a Broadway stage," Lopez stated. "I have as well, and have been searching for the right time and opportunity."
Lopez revealed to Extra that his singing abilities had always held him back from making his Broadway dream a reality - until now. When the producers offered him the role of Zach, he said, "He doesn't necessarily have to sing. I said, 'Alright, that's my guy!'"
But he will have to dance, a skill he has already proven he excels at.
"Mario is an enormously talented actor and dancer and we are thrilled to have him make his Broadway debut in A Chorus Line," stated producer Breglio. "His talents and charm will transfer beautifully to the Broadway stage."
Mario's Broadway debut is scheduled to run through September 7 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
