I have heard that Mario Lopez is the head of the triangle during the one reprise. If so, does that mean he is the first gentlemen to take a bow during the final number. Paul is usually the first and I believe Zach is around the fifth or sixth gentlemen to take a bow. Do they switch places?
If so, how can Mario get backstage and get dressed so quickly after having just spoken the final words of the show?
Does Zach usually stay at the back of the audience until he has spoken all his lines? Or does he talk to the chorus line backstage?

Zach's last lines are always recorded, I believe.
And yes, Mario is the first one to take the bow.
And yes, I don't like his performance.

Zach's final "In house" line is the cue for "What I Did For Love"
After he says that, he returns to the backstage to change. Larry and Paul are already changing. All his other lines are delivered from backstage.

I know this may come as a huge shocker to you, but you CAN get to the backstage area without having to go outside the lobby, out to the street and in thru the stagedoor. There are passages/hallways that lead from the front of the house to the backstage area. Mr. Lopez does this.
These passages/hallways are also used in HAIRSPRAY and GYPSY when actors walk to the stage entering from the front of the house.

Posted: 7/22/08 at 1:13amBut in ACL where does Zach go so that the audience can't see him?

You've never been to a Broadway house, have you? The last row of the orchestra section has a wall/partition that separates the seats from the lobby that unless you're looking back there you can't see the actors leaving or entering.
Seriously.
Next dumb question?

It might be a shocker to you, but Mario Lopez does indeed walk out of the lobby doors and go backstage from the street. Also, the Schoenfeld only has a partition on house right near the entrance (to block out light). You can clearly see Mario Lopez (or whoever happens to be back there) if you turn around in your seat and look.

The Schoenfeld is one of the rare exceptions.
Either way, he's backstage during "What I Did For Love" changed and ready to give a shoddy performance during "One" that makes him so totally undeserving of being on the stage with the rest of the talented cast that it's not even funny.
And yes, I have seen the performance, so I can actually say this with authority.
