In a new interview with CBS, Nick Jonas sits down for an in-depth conversation about his return to Broadway in The Last Five Years, his work with the Jonas Brothers, and more.
"There is some pressure that comes with any Broadway show,' he admitted. "Doing one like this, where this is technically the first Broadway production, came with a bit of pressure but I think I had to compartmentalize it a little bit and just approach the work first..."
On the character he plays in the show, Jonas noted that "Jamie is, in a lot of ways, a kind of polarizing character for people. He's incredibly ambitious, very focused and he builds worlds in his head. I think people like that have a tendency to lose sight of the people in front of them or the people in their lives that live them up and make them better."
The performer also spoke about the Broadway routine and how it differs from touring with the Jonas Brothers band: "Eight shows a week requires a lot of discipline...It's a lot like being an athlete, in some ways, as opposed to being a musician. Most of my experience with the Brothers and touring is, that's our kind of domain. That's our stories that we're telling...to get to come into something more structured like this...is a really nice balance to the touring side of things."
