from Playbill.com. Readers submitted their ideas for possible future roles for Jake G. on Broadway. http://www.playbill.com/news/article/playbill-poll-what-musical-should-jake-gyllenhaal-do-next-readers-respond-353089 My suggestion made the list.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I think he'd be a great Zach or Bobby in A Chorus Line.

I haven't heard him sing. Are there videos of him singing?

I'd see (again) Naked Boys Singing; Love, Valor, Compassion or Take Me Out if Jake were in any of those. I could seriously see him in a role in the last two. And I'd be in the front row LOL.

At Encores? The Anthony Perkins role in GREENWILLOW, a beautiful score, a twee book. He might knock "Never Will I Marry" out of the park. Or commercially, the title role in ROBBER BRIDEGROOM, which he might be perfect for in a full revival.

Though I don't think we need another Company revival, he'd be terrific as Bobby.
