Jake's mom recently posted this video of him performing 'Consider Yourself'. He has a great voice!

Jake's dad, Mike, is a former NFL center for the Baltimore Ravens, and currently hosts sports shows on Boston's 98.5 The Sports Hub.

Adam Pelty gave Jake more to do than most Small Boys are given at NSMT, and he did a fine job throughout. The first minute is entirely given over to SB, before he pops the video cassette in the machine and the newsreel begins.

Jake will play Michael Banks in North Shore Music Theatre's production of Mary Poppins. He will do so at the age of 9. Besides BETM last autumn, he has played in other productions.

He is then cast in NSMT's production of Singing In the Rain. His dream is to be on Broadway.

When Small Boy becomes a star in Mary Poppins nine months later, and it is featured in none other than The Boston Globe, I think we can say this nine year old IS a star:

Congratulations!

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this past weekend and was fortunate to see Jake as Charlie. He did a fantastic job!

Here's a nice article about the show, including a photo of Jake as Charlie.

Having finished his run on Broadway's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jake did the only thing even better at his young age: appear in a Super Bowl Commercial!:
