So what's the animus?

Why are you on this one-man crusade to vilify an actor who seems to be well-liked by the rest of the cast?

And also, who cares if they made someone's shirt striped instead of solid? OMGGGGG

So now people can't make simple observations?

It doesn't matter if Lopez can act or not. He spends 95% of the show in the back of the orchestra and doesn't have nearly as much to do as the on-stage cast. His dancing looked very strong last night (on the preview on Channel 7).

For the record, I figured he would have played the one who sings "I Can Do That."

Sure they are, but I'm just wondering why people care. "Does anyone else think it's [sic] rediculous that costumes were changed?" Granted, the OP thought all of them had been changed but really, who cares? It's like Cosette's dress in Les Mis.

It's too bad he's not playing Mike, because we know he can sing. Remember when the SBTB gang formed "Zack Attack"? Friends forever! A classic that had Casey Kasem rocking. Plus, he and Jessie sang "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" on the Zack/Kelly breakup episode. It was amazing. His singing voice sounded nothing like his speaking voice! Marni Nixon gave it two thumbs up.

Did the original ACL ever stunt cast? Not to my knowledge and it ran for 15 years. The revival hasn't even lasted two years and they're stunt casting!

... that you can't spell "ridiculous"? Yes, yes I do.

No, it did not stunt cast. The only major announcement of anyone going into the original run was when Donna returned in 1986, but that is hardly stunt casting. Remember the "Donna's Back" ads?

Well, like it or not, he has a very high Q score. Also, he almost won "Dancing WIth The Stars" which has about 20 million viewers. Add to that he appears regularly on TV's "Extra" and has a book coming out. It's these things that can only help the show, which is doing so-so business at the moment. I am sure that the DWTS connection is particularly good publicity wise and the right core audience for a show about dancing.

I don't recall there being any ballroom dancing in A Chorus Line.

HA! There's all kinds of dancing in DWTS and shows like it and So You Think You Can Dance and Step It Up are introducing dance to a new audience. My family loves DWTS especially the rehearsal footage.

Dead wrong. Zach doesn't have to dance, but he certainly has to act, oftentimes by voice alone. Zach drives the show, and he does it by acting.

And as far as I can tell, only two costume changes have been made. Zach now has short sleeves, no sweater, and Nick has long sleeves (a hoody-type sweatshirt) for the second half of the show.

I think the new Zach costume kind of looks better on Mario than the sweater might have, but it seemed kind of stupid (pointless?) to change Nick's costume.

Any Zach would have looked better in the new costume. The old one was awful. As to why Nick's was changed? Well, look at Nick's biceps and look at Mario's. Both magnificent, but Nick is pretty damn impressive, no disrespect to Mario.

I know, that's why I said it was stupid.

I think the idea may be that they don't want Mario to be shown up by Nick, is what I meant.

Or maybe Larry just got cold during the audition
