Nicholas Dante
Nicholas Dante (November 22, 1941〔(''Social Security Death Index Search'' )〕 – May 21, 1991〔(''Nicholas Dante, 49; Dancer and a Writer Of 'A Chorus Line'' ) from ''New York Times'', 22 May 1991〕) was an American dancer and writer, best known for having co-written the book of the musical ''A Chorus Line''.
==Biography==
Born Conrado Morales in New York City to Puerto Rican parents, his early career was spent dancing in the chorus of Broadway musicals such as ''Applause'' and ''Ambassador''.
In 1974, he was approached by friend Michael Bennett who invited him to the sessions which led to the basis of material for the book of a musical about Broadway "gypsies", the dancers who serve as a backdrop for the leading performers. Eventually, collaborating with James Kirkwood, Jr., the result was ''A Chorus Line'', which earned him the 1976 Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for Best Book of a Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In particular, the story of Paul, the homosexual Puerto Rican dancer whose early career consisted of working in a drag show, was based primarily on Dante. The actor who originated the role with the famous monologue, Sammy Williams, won a Best Featured Actor in a Musical award in 1976 for the role. Dante played the role himself later on.
He authored a screenplay, ''Fake Lady'', and a stage musical based on the life of entertainer Al Jolson entitled ''Jolson Tonight'', but never again achieved the success he did with ''A Chorus Line''.〔(''ovrtur: Jolson Tonight'' ) from ''www.ovrtur.com''〕
