Mario Lopez to Join A Chorus Line April 15

Mario Lopez will join the Broadway cast of A Chorus Line at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre from April 15-September 7. He will play the role of Zach.

Lopez is currently the host of Extra TV and MTV’s Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew. He is well known for his breakout role as high school jock A. C. Slater on the hit NBC comedy series Saved by the Bell, and appeared on ABC’s hit reality series Dancing with the Stars.
