Although the Jonas Brothers formed in 2005, as per Insider, Nick Jonas was reportedly discovered long before at age 6, when he was singing while his mom got her hair cut at a barber shop, Us Weekly reported. From there, Nick, at the tender age of 8, made his debut on the Great White Way as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol. The production, Jonas told a 2011 New Jersey Monthly interview, taught him a seminal lesson. Filling in for Tiny Tim one night after just one rehearsal run, Jonas said his stage fright caused him to forget his solo.
"The first couple of chords of music start, and I'm standing there waiting to sing... and I just froze," he shared. Jonas vowed then to never repeat the mortifying experience, saying "I decided that I would never ever have stage fright again, and... I didn't." The singer wasn't lying, as he went on to co-star in other Broadway productions like Annie Get Your Gun (alongside Reba McEntire), Beauty and the Beast, and Les Miserables, per NJ Monthly.
Jonas returned to Broadway in 2011 to fill the large shoes previously worn by Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Billboard reported. "This is going to be an exciting journey," Jonas mused at the time. He could just have easily been describing his multi-faceted career. We, for one, can't wait to see what Nick does next!
