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.
He is getting to the right age now for Joe in Sunset Blvd
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.
