Nick Jonas has a number of biggest fans.
As the Jonas Brothers member returns to Broadway after more than a decade in The Last Five Years—for which previews begin March 18—he detailed the many ways his loved ones, from wife Priyanka Chopra to brothers Kevin Jonas and Joe Jonas, are showing their support.
“My family will join me for some of this which will be nice,” he told E! News in an exclusive interview alongside costar Adrienne Warren. “And obviously on opening night I think the brothers will come out, and my parents. Having that support is key, especially when you’re doing a project that’s as intense as this.” (For more with Nick and Adrienne, tune into E! News tonight, Feb. 19 at 11 p.m.)
Nick continued, “It just really helps ground you and gives you the sort of peace that you need to step into something that is so intense and requires so much of you—not just the work you do on stage, but the emotional part of this as well.”
As he noted, with both his and Adrienne’s characters going on an emotional journey every night—the musical chronicling their relationship as they fall in and out of love over five years—having loved ones nearby is an essential.
“It’s nice to feel like when you go home,” Nick—who shares daughter Malti, 3, with Priyanka—explained, “you get to sit back on your couch and get those cuddles or whatever else you need to recharge.”
But despite the emotional and physical toll the 32-year-old knows his return to the stage will take, Nick wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Approaching each day and each performance with gratitude is going to be important,” he reflected. “I don’t really want to get overly emotional about it, but it’s a blessing to be here and to get to be on the Broadway stage. There’s so many talented people in the world who unfortunately don’t get this opportunity. I’m just blown away at the fact that get to step on those boards and perform.”
For Adrienne, she’s also feeling grateful for her scene partner.
“The opportunity to work with Nick and then meet him and find out he’s actually a pretty phenomenal human being,” the Tony Award nominee said, “it was just exciting. And we’re just thrilled to get an opportunity to grow together.”
