Nick Jonas Returns to Broadway, Embracing ‘Girl Dad Life’ and Stage Triumph
Nick Jonas made an electrifying return to Broadway on March 18, delighting fans and marking his first stage performance in 13 years. The 32-year-old singer, songwriter, and actor shared the spotlight with fellow performer Adrienne Warren in their debut of “The Last Five Years,” an engagement that proved to be a night to remember.
Prior to taking the stage, Jonas offered an intimate glimpse into his offstage life on Instagram. In a charming photo, the star donned a light blue bow, a playful fake flower clip, and a hair tie—accessories likely chosen by his 2-year-old daughter, Malti Marie. “Girl dad life,” he captioned the post, celebrating the joy of fatherhood with wife Priyanka Chopra and their daughter, born via surrogate in 2022.
The moment captured on social media was a heartwarming prelude to an evening of show-stopping performance. As the Broadway show concluded, Jonas and Warren took their bows before a roaring crowd, sharing a heartfelt handshake and hug with director Whitney White and composer-lyricist Jason Robert Brown.
Jonas’s return to Broadway is especially poignant given his history with the stage. Having previously starred in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” in 2012—and as a regular Broadway presence during his childhood—his comeback signals a full-circle moment in his career. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Jonas expressed his excitement: “Putting the whole thing together has been an absolute joy.”
Warren echoed his enthusiasm, praising Jonas for his dedication and drive. “He’s such an incredible teammate and such a hard worker,” she remarked. “He ups the ante every single day, and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. I gotta step up!’”
While Chopra was unable to attend the premiere in person due to filming commitments with director SS Rajamouli, she made sure to cheer him on from afar. “So proud of you @nickjonas, performance starts tonight!” she shared on her Instagram Stories.
The Broadway premiere follows a heartwarming family outing earlier this month. Jonas’s February post highlighted the special moment when he and his daughter enjoyed their first theater trip together, reinforcing the multifaceted life he leads—both as a devoted “girl dad” and a consummate performer.
Nick Jonas’s dynamic return to Broadway not only signals his personal and professional resurgence but also reminds fans that his commitment to both art and family remains unwavering. As the applause echoed on stage that night, it was clear that for Jonas, every bow was a celebration of his journey—from cherished family moments to bold artistic endeavors.
