It doesn't take long for Nick Jonas to switch from 'girl dad' mode to Broadway superstar.
The 32-year-old singer, songwriter and actor made his official return to Broadway March 18 when he and fellow singer-actress Adrienne Warren took the stage for their debut of 'The Last Five Years.'
It was Jonas's first Broadway performance in 13 years, per Us Weekly, and his two brothers, Kevin and Joe Jonas, were all smiles at the premiere.
But before that premiere began, Jonas took to Instagram to share a glimpse of his life at home.
In the photo, Jonas is wearing his daughter's light blue bow, fake flower clip and hair tie, which were likely placed there by his 2-year-old, Malti Marie, whom he shares with wife Priyanka Chopra.
Jonas and Chopra, who have been married since 2018, welcomed their only daughter in 2022 via a surrogate mother.
'Girl dad life,' he wrote in the caption.
Jonas, of course, had to ditch the bows and hair ties for his performance later that night, but it culminated in a night to remember for the 'Jealous' singer.
And it ended with a different type of bow — one he hasn't experienced in more than a decade.
In one clip shared by the Broadway show's official Instagram account, Jonas and Warren took center stage for their first bows in front of a cheering crowd at show's end.
They also shared a personal handshake and hug before welcoming director Whitney White and composer, lyricist and writer Jason Robert Brown on stage.
Jonas hasn't appeared on Broadway since starring in 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' in 2012, per People, but was a regular Broadway star as a child.
Warren last portrayed Tina Turner in 2019's 'The Tina Turner Musical.'
'Putting the whole thing together has been an absolute joy,' Jonas said of his Broadway return during an appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' earlier this month.
Warren, who joined in on the interview, had plenty of good things to say about her co-star.
'He's such an incredible teammate and such a hard worker,' Warren said of Jonas. 'He ups the ante every single day and I'm like, 'Wait a minute. I gotta step up!''
'It's natural to feel a little nervous, so 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 over the world,' Jonas said in a different interview.
And while Jonas's wife was too busy to attend the premiere, she was cheering loud from afar.
'So proud of you @nickjonas performances start tonight!' Chopra, who is currently shooting for her film with SS Rajamouli, wrote in her Instagram Stories March 18.
The premiere comes less than a month after the family of three took their first trip to the theater together.
'So special having the fam with me for our first trip to the theatre today,' Jonas wrote in a Feb. 27 Instagram post that featured Malti Marie pointing at a larger photo of her father in a window.
