While I don’t know Jack very well as a character, I have very much enjoyed his character and come to love him as I’ve gotten more and more acquainted with Newsies and his character as well!

I have loved Jack for two years, but I have a nice knowledge of him. I love his relationship to the Newsies especially to Crutchie.
