Reviews
"Grounding the proceedings is John C. Leggett's terrific turn as Jack. He gives the character a natural charisma and confident style that perfectly suit the character - and make Jack's moments of self-doubt all the stronger. With a pleasing voice that's just right for these songs..."
- Neil Shurley for Broadway World SC
Newsies at The Greenville Theatre
"With exceptional skill, Leggett is a man/teenager with idiosyncrasies, such as a taste for top-shelf liquor, knowing what will happen next, an irritating habit of quoting Shakespeare excessively, and a bad case of star-crossed lovers blues balls. This is a lot to ask of an actor, and Leggett is up to challenge."
- Sandy Staggs for Carolina Curtain Call
Treehouse at Centre Stage
" Leggett is the spitting image of Errol Flynn... This is a huge part on par with Hamlet and Richard III and Leggett is probably on stage two-thirds of the play. He astutely aced every one of his half-dozen or so major speeches on opening night with strength and passion and effectively made, in tall order, an enthralling appeal for vengeance, guilt, love, shame and ultimately, empathy, as he battles a self-fulfilled prophesy.."
