Nick Jonas Takes Manhattan By Storm: Broadway, Billboards and Bowling

It was a busy week for the youngest JoBro.

Nick Jonas took over the role of J. Pierrepont Finch from Daniel Radcliffe, in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," got to watch his own billboard go up on New York's brightest avenue and sat down with Kelly Ripa. 

Not bad for a 19 year old, eh?

And never mind his performance, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that on his first night Tuesday, Nick almost sold out the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on West 45th Street in Manhattan — a task yet unaccomplished by his predecessors. 

Beyond the brisk ticket sales, a frenzied flock of fans showed up hours before the show started and others stayed long after the performance had ended, just to get a glimpse of Nifty Nick, according to EW.com.

When the curtain rose and the youngest Jonas Brother got his chance to shine in a major musical last Tuesday things went well, but that's not to say Nick wasn't a bit nervous.

The Wyckoff native told Ripa last Thursday morning on Live! with Kelly that he was pretty shook up his first time up on stage.

“It wasn’t scary up until — basically I start the show, I’m a window washer so I pull myself up on this lift and I get elevated about 40 feet above the audience," said Nick, according to OK! Magazine. "Just when I started to pull myself up, I was thinking ‘Oh my God this is actually happening.’ And that’s the only moment my nerves set in. My family was there... my friends."

Later that night Nick was spotted partying at Frames Bowling Lounge with his Australian girlfriend Delta Goodrem, according to Celebrity VIP Lounge.

Don't feel too bad though for Nick, he's had plenty of support from his family and brother Joe, who dressed up his bulldogs in Pierpont-style bowties.

And don't forget to check out Nick's take on New York City in his one-on-one interview with the Post. 

Oh, and then there's the billboard.
