Mario: Toast of the Town
"Extra's" Mario Lopez is officially a Broadway sensation! From the limo to the after party, "Extra" was with him for every step of his big debut. It's hard to believe, but Mario was nervous -- just some pre-show jitters before storming the stage for his first official performance in the revival of "A Chorus Line."
Mario's nerves prevented him from wanting his loved ones at the show -- at least in the beginning. "I'm not letting any friends or family see me for like the first week," says the actor, "and then afterwards they can come by!"
Of course, Mario was flying high moments after receiving his first Broadway standing ovation! "It was exhilarating," said Lopez. Between his eight shows a week, his work at "Extra" and an upcoming appearance on "Dancing with the Stars," Mario won't be resting anytime soon -- or dating, for that matter. "I have no social life really... I just work and that's it."
