You Bet Joe and Kevin Jonas Were in the House for Nick Jonas' Return to Broadway in ‘The Last Five Years'
Of course Joe and Kevin Jonas were in the house on Tuesday night (March 18) to support their brother Nick Jonas in his return to Broadway in The Last Five Years. The siblings were reunited on the stage with Nick's co-star, Adrienne Warren in a family snap at the kick-off of preview performances at the Hudson Theatre in New York.
The show tells the story of a relationship's end from the perspective of aspiring novelist Jamie (Jonas) and struggling actress Cathy (Warren) in a Rashomon-like tale in which Jamie tells his side in chronological order and Cathy starts at the dissolution of their marriage and works her way backwards.

In the production in which Warren and Jonas are the only on-stage actors, Nick said in an Insta video earlier this week that returning to Broadway feels 'so intense. This is a very intense show. And I am honestly ready for it, but it's natural to feel a little nervous. So I think I'm trying to step into this with real focus and confidence, but it's a big show. And it's got a lot of fans all over the world.'
The Last Five Years premiered in Chicago in 2001 before moving to New York for an off-Broadway run in 2002 and a second off-Broadway stint in 2013. In 2015, it was adapted into a rom-com starring starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.
The current production will officially open on April 6 and run for 14 weeks, closing on June 22. It marks Jonas' return to Broadway 13 years after starring in the 2012 revival of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Joe Jonas Hits New Career Peaks With His First Solo Album In More Than A Decade
Joe Jonas earns his highest solo chart placements yet as Music for People Who Believe in Love opens ... More at No. 3 on Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts. THE KELLY CLARKSON SHOW — Episode BP161 — Pictured: Joe Jonas — (Photo by: Weiss Eubanks/NBCUniversal via Getty Images) Joe Jonas may be best known as one-third of the Jonas Brothers, the chart-topping sibling trio behind a string of bestselling albums and massive pop singles. But in between his stints with the band, he's also found success with other projects — most notably as the frontman of DNCE, the act that rocketed into the top 10 on the Hot 100 with 'Cake by the Ocean.' Jonas has released only two full-lengths under his own name, and neither has reached the same level of acclaim or success as his group efforts. That changes – at least in some regards – this week with Music for People Who Believe in Love, his latest solo project. Music for People Who Believe in Love debuts on multiple Billboard tallies this frame. The set opens at No. 3 on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts. It also kicks off its time at No. 24 on the Billboard 200, and it marks a new high solo for Jonas on almost every one of those tallies. With Music for People Who Believe in Love, Jonas scores his first-ever appearance on the list of bestselling vinyl titles in the U.S. He also earns his inaugural top 10 placement on the Top Album Sales ranking. According to Luminate, the collection sold just over 17,100 copies once it became widely available. This frame, Jonas manages the highest debut among all new releases on the Top Album Sales chart. Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem leads for a second stint, while Music by Playboi Carti reappears in the runner-up spot. Jonas's latest easily outpaces the peak set by Fastlife, his solo debut from October 2011. That set reached a high of No. 15 on the Top Album Sales chart and vanished after just two weeks. Although Music for People Who Believe in Love doesn't surpass Fastlife on the Billboard 200 — where the earlier of the two projects also peaked at No. 15 — the fact that the title begins its time on the roster inside the top 40 after little success in the way of singles is noteworthy.

George Clooney Reveals The 1 Line He Used To Silence Protesters During Broadway Play
George Clooney has opened up about how he dealt with hecklers during the Broadway run of his politically charged play 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' which closed Sunday. Speaking with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Clooney described interruptions during performances from audience members across the political spectrum. 'From both sides, we've had them yell 'Resist!' and stand up and scream, and we've had others stand up and yell on the other side. That's OK,' Clooney said. Clooney, who starred as legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow in the play and the 2005 movie he directed of the same name, said he occasionally addressed the disruptions, but only while staying fully in character. He'd say a line like: 'As a reporter, I've covered protests. I believe our nation was founded on protest and in the great traditions of the First Amendment and the Constitution, I hope you feel satisfied with your protest — and now, you'll sit down and let everybody else…' When Cooper asked if the response worked, Clooney replied, 'I think it does, kind of. I think people wanted to make their point.' 'It's hard to really argue against speaking truth to power, because it cuts both ways,' he added. 'Both of the powers don't really want to be challenged all that often.'
