The lead character and star in the movie Newsies. Played by Christian Bale. The leader of the Manhattan Newsies, as well as the newsboys strike of 1899 (fictionally). His co-leader being David Jacobs, and is aided in selling by Dave's younger brother Les. Sings the song Santa Fe, and in the end coupls with the character of Sarah Jacobs, the sister of the Jacobs brothers (Sarah is often the least favorite character of many newsie fans). His arch enimy, and the man he is constantly running away from is the Warden Snyder.
In the movie Jack lies and says his mother and father had gone to Santa Fe and when they found a place to stay they were going to send for him. The reality of the situation though was that his mother was killed, and his father was in jail. He also lies about his name as well, his real name being Francis Sullivan.
"Santa Fe are you there? Do you swear you won't forget me?"
"Youse guys gotta be Am-bastards!"
Jack Kelly: "Guess I can't be somethin' I ain't."
Dave: "What a scab?"
Jack Kelly: "Naw, smart."

Played by the amazing Jeremy Jordan. Not the 80's pop singer/model. Also not the gay porn star. The other one.
Jack Kelly is extremely loyal to his boys and would do anything to keep them safe. He is the leader of the Manhattan Newsies and is low-key scared of Spot Conlon, but doesn't show it because he needs to be the protective dad once Spot finally gets the balls to ask Race out.
Jack Kelly is also a total flirt, but once he meets Katherine Pul-- I mean Plumber-- he's totally whipped. Just listen to I Never Planned On You/Don't Come A-knockin'. They met only once before that song and Katherine already had him tied around her finger.
His most popular line is probably "Dszahdh-". He's also 17, but he's the father of like 100 kids and Davey's the mom.
Person A: "I never planned on someone like you."
Person B: "Okay, Jack Kelly."
A very angry and distant batman with no robin. A guy who always makes fun of his brother and Jack always carries around a bat mitzvah water bottle that is pink and white.
Oh boy, that’s Jack Kelly
