Nick Jonas' career as a solo artist and television star may be soaring, but the 'Chains' singer tells Vogue Italia this week that he is eager to return to his first love, the Great White Way. "I'd like to go back to Broadway, but with something written by me," he tells that magazine. "That's what I really miss".

Asked if there may be a Jonas Brothers reunion in the future, the star shares, "Nowadays my relationship with my brothers Joe and Kevin is stronger than ever. If we had continued with the band we probably wouldn't be so close. I'm so proud of what we achieved, but now I'm concentrating on the things I'm doing for myself. And I'm grateful for their support."

Jonas is excited to hit the road in support of his latest hit album alongside longtime friend Demi Lovato. "I'm so happy to share the stage with Demi, we've been friends forever. And I'm very pleased about the work done on the new album, it has more of a soul/R&B sound than the previous ones". Click here for tour dates

Jonas introduced himself as a fully formed solo artist on his hit self-titled debut, released in November 2014. The critically-acclaimed album includes double-platinum smash single and #1 U.S. radio hit, "Jealous" and his sultry second chart-climbing radio single, "Chains." Jonas attributes his album's darker overtones partially to the fact that while he was recording, he was also shooting the gritty television show 'Kingdom' - a mixed martial arts drama that premiered on DirecTV's Audience Network last fall and was recently picked up for two additional seasons. Jonas recently earned two more high-profile roles, a guest starring role in Fox's horror-comedy series, 'Scream Queens' and a lead in the James Franco produced film, 'Goat'.

The breakout solo powerhouse joined forces with west coast rapper-producer Sage the Gemini to release their summer collaboration, "Good Thing." Jonas' latest single, "Levels," has already amassed over 12 million views on YouTube and is rapidly climbing the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also recently wrapped up his sold-out North American "LIVE IN CONCERT" tour and has been nominated for a 2015 American Music Award for Favorite Male Artist - Pop/Rock.

Jonas has appeared on Broadway in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN and most recently in the revival of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING.
