If I had a nickel for every time Jeremy Jordan played a character who wanted to be on the front page of the paper, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.
Every character Jeremy Jordan plays just becomes a silly little guy by virtue of the Jeremy Jordan Is A Silly Little Guy Principle. And the characters get sillier if he returns to the character
Jack Kelly - silly little guy with newspapers (silly guyified between OBC and proshot)
Clyde Barrow - silly guy with a gun (soooo much sillier of a guy in proshot vs OBC)
Dr Pomatter -silly little doctor guy
JM Barrie - silly goofy little guy with bonus trauma ending
Seymour Krelborn - the og silly little guy and Jeremy makes him the silliest
Jay Gatsby - a very silly little guy (the only role I’ve seen him in live and can confirm indeed very silly)
Look I just don't think it's a coincidence that Jeremy dancing on Broadway caused earthquakes and HD Clyde was released in the middle of a huge heat wave
