Yes, I agree, Jake is absolutely awesome as Michael.

And, the disrespect continues; as of this evening, Thursday, November 18, 2010 the BETM Broadway official site still has Gabriel Rush listed as Michael, not Jake. Come on, Billy Elliot web persons, it's not difficult to change a name on a page; it might take at most two minutes to change, test and upload. (Been there, done that, enough times over the past 10 years or so to know there's no legitimate excuse for this updating to take so long; it's neither rocket science nor time consuming.)

Jake posted this tonight on his public Facebook page. It sounds like he is leaving, which helps explain why Gabe's name is on the website again.
One week left of B.E.
We will miss you Jake!

Oh noo!
Such a shame, an absolutely incredible Michael, perfect.
Anyone know what he is going onto next?

Jake confirmed on the same page that his last show will be on Sunday, January 30th. He does not say if it is the matinee or evening show though.

He is a terrific Michael and I'm sure he will perform in many other things in the future.

So glad I caught his performance last week. He is brilliant as Michael. Good luck, Jake Evan!

It was several weeks ago I first saw Jake's public Facebook page message that he was leaving BETM at the end of this month. When Gabe's name appeared on the BETM Broadway cast page, I immediately thought that it might be related to Jake's impending departure.

I think we should just wait and see. One of our forum policies asks members to avoid speculation.
