Jeremy Jordan!
AKA: Jack Kelly in the Broadway production of Newsies. (he was also in that Joyful Noise movie)
Glee star Darren Criss made his Broadway debut earlier this year in the revival How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Since then, Broadway fans have been eager to get Criss back onstage (and for longer than three weeks this time!) In a recent interview with Billboard.com, the Glee star discussed catching the new hit musical Newsies and the likelihood of him donning a newsboy cap and selling papes on Broadway.
"I'm a huge Newsies fan, and I love that show,” Criss said. “I wouldn't deign to think I could be in that show because I can't sing or dance like those kids. They put me to shame.” (well at least he's somewhat self-aware)
Criss went on to gush about Jeremy Jordan, the show's leading man and rising star. “Jeremy Jordan, who plays Jack Kelly, knocks it out of the park,” Criss exclaimed. “I added him to my long list of people who I wish I could sing like. I was so blown away by that guy.”
Good taste, IMO.
