Yay! Jack to the rescue, and Ianto never doubted him for a second. I'm so happy for him that he finally got his chance to shine.

They are such a perfect couple. I love the unshakeable, unconditional love, devotion, and faith they share. I also love their parents. The only thing better than having the world's best, most loving, understanding parents, is having two sets of those kinds of parents. The ease with which they accepted both Jack's love of female leading roles and the boys relationship was wonderful. They really are the best.

So many young people have a hard time coming out, I wanted Jack and Ianto to find their parents as supportive and accepting as I think all parents should be. Maybe one day no one will need to 'come out' because they'll know it doesn't matter, they won't face discrimination, there will just be unconditional accept whether they're gay, straight, bi, transgender or whatever.

They really do believe in each other. They know that becoming successful actors won't be easy, but they'll be there for each other, to support and encourage until they make it, however long that takes. Jack really did deserve the chance to show what he can do.

Thnk you!

I am so glad their parents took the news so well, what a great chapter and I love Jack as Sandy.

Everyone loved Jack as Sandy - the audience were most surprised to find out a man was playing the role though!

They have really supportive parents!

Thank you!

That was wonderful! Actually I hoped the girl would get sick or something so that Jack could get the role - and now it was so spontaneous, that must have been nerve wrecking!
Oh and I love the reactions of Jack and Ianto's parents! What a relief that they are cool with them being a couple ^_^

Jack and Ianto are both the products of very open-minded families, so there weren't any problems =)

Jack doesn't get nervous, just excited and enthusiastic. he loves performing and was in his element, much like JB. Ianto knew he would be amazing in the role, and so he was! I wanted it to be totally last minute so there really wouldn't be any other choice if the show was to go on.

Thank you!

Aww - glad Jack got to play his ideal role and happy that everyone was happy.

This was like the punchline of my original idea, I just wanted Jack to get the chance to play the female lead because JB looks so fabulous in a dress!

Thank you!

I love this! Well done Jack - the perfect 'Sandy' :-)

I did read this before - I read the whole series in just a couple of days, but I didn't comment on the last couple because I read them sneakily at work - just had to see how it finished! It's quite difficult to read at work - almost impossible to comment!

Glad you enjoyed them (sneaky you, reading at work!)

Jack deserved the standing ovation, he proved that guys can be just as good as girls in the female roles!

Thank you!
