Did You Notice Priyanka Chopra's Cameo in Nick Jonas' Latest Musical Rehearsal? Actress Twins With Husband, Turning into His Cheerleader
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are still the ultimate couple goals of today's era, turning heads in style with their appearance at Joe Jonas' recent show. Nick recently shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Quantico actress being heartwarmingly supportive as The Last Five Years star strummed his guitar. The Internet went abuzz when Jonas posted a photo on his Instagram Stories with Priyanka in a matching outfit. In the photo, Nick played the guitar with Priyanka standing behind him, both wearing matching brown leather jackets, white T-shirts, and loose-fitting denim. Fans were quick to gush about the twin flames' latest viral photo, where Chopra seems to be cheering Nick on as he practices for his Broadway show. Nick Jonas stars in Broadway's production of The Last Five Years, which follows the rise and fall of two New Yorkers in love. Directed by Whitney White, a rising author, Jamie and an aspiring actress, Cathy, navigate their love through a course of five years. Tony Award-winning Adrienne Warren stars as Cathy while Grammy nominee Jonas takes on Jamie's role. Director White described the journey as "an unforgettable part of their lives in New York" in an interview with Vogue. "There's not a single place where I've had my heart broken more, where I've fallen in love more, where I've achieved my dreams, but also had dreams crushed. New York is the third character in this story. Not all past productions have truly, fully embraced that," she added. With his wife, Chopra as his cheerleader, Jonas and actress Warren's performance as the doomed couple in the cult-favorite show has met with high praise and critical acclaim. Moreover, a clip of the couple walking hand-in-hand was quick to turn into a viral sensation, showing the pair navigating through throngs of people to cheer on Nick's brother, Joe Jonas. Most recently, during the Live with Kelly and Mark show, Nick shared tidbits of his initial relationship with Priyanka Chopra. The Jonas Brothers singer mentioned being anxious to impress the Citadel actress and confessed he didn't want to mess up. The memory elicited laughter and highlighted the genuineness of the couple's initial relationship. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra wed in 2018 and had their daughter, Malti Marie, through surrogacy in January 2022.

SCAD presents 'The Drowsy Chaperone'
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Get ready to laugh, sing, and tap your feet as the Savannah College of Art and Design's (SCAD) School of Film and Acting presents The Drowsy Chaperone, a musical-within-a-musical that brings the glitz and glamour of 1920s Broadway to life. The show runs from May 22 through 25 at Savannah's historic Lucas Theatre for the Arts. Get your tickets here. This Tony Award-winning comedy follows a lonely theater enthusiast—known only as 'Man in Chair'—who escapes into the world of his favorite forgotten musical. As he plays the original cast recording, the show bursts into life in his apartment, complete with mistaken identities, tap-dancing groomsmen, and a delightfully tipsy chaperone. The production brings together the work of more than 60 students across top-ranked degree programs including acting, production design, costume design, lighting design, music and sound design. 'This show has everything for everyone of all ages,' said director and SCAD acting director Christian Delcroix. 'There's comedy, entertainment, lots of surprise elements, and one show-stopping song and dance number after another. These student actors are incredibly talented and they will blow audiences away with their spectacular performances.' Delcroix performed on Broadway for over a decade before coming to teach at SCAD, appearing in shows like South Pacific, Follies, and The Book of Mormon. He is joined by other Broadway veterans who are mentoring The Drowsy Chaperon student cast. The musical is choreographed by Broadway actress/SCAD acting professor Margot de La Barre, and music directed by Broadway music director Jasper Grant. Originally written by Bob 'This is SCAD's latest act of bringing Broadway to Broughton Street!' said Andra Reeve-Rabb, the dean of the School of Film and Acting. 'With our team of creatives made up of talented students and Broadway veterans, we are thrilled to bring this musical favorite to the historic Lucas Theatre.'

Broadway's TV revival
Broadway shows are getting newfound attention from TV networks and streamers looking to tap into the theater industry's post-pandemic boom. Why it matters: "In this era of AI, there's still nothing like a live show to bring people together because it is live and you know it is real," said Eric Kuhn, a Broadway investor and three-time Tony Award-winning producer. "People are dying for community, to be together, and to tap into that energy where you know what you're seeing is real because it's happening on stage in real-time," said Kuhn, who is also co-founder and co-CEO of Folk Media Group, a creative studio and private investment firm. Driving the news: CNN will air a live telecast of George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck" next month and mark a historic Broadway first of a live play being televised, the company said last week. "Live TV. No net. Buckle up everyone," Clooney said in a statement. The big picture: Streamers and TV networks have aired Broadway shows to tap into their cultural relevance and reach new audiences. Disney will release a recorded version of "Frozen" from its West End run on Disney+ on June 20. Back in 2020, Disney brought"Hamilton" to Disney+. PBS is now airing its eighth annual "Broadway's Best" lineup for the PBS series, Great Performances, including "Next to Normal, "Yellow Face," "Girl from the North Country" and "Kiss Me, Kate." Max began streaming a filmed version of "Waitress: The Musical," starring Sara Bareilles, earlier this year. Max also offers "Alex Edelman: Just for Us," a recording from the 2023 Broadway run, after it aired on HBO. NBC has hosted its own live productions of musicals, including "Hairspray" in 2016, "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 2018 and "Annie" in 2021. Fox aired its own live version of "Rent" in 2019. Between the lines: Streamers and live productions are converging as content owners see value in expanding reach from stages to screens and vice versa. Netflix released a stage adaption of "Stranger Things." Written as a prequel to its hit series, "Stranger Things: The First Shadow" debuted on the West End in 2023 and came to Broadway this year. Disney has long brought its movies to stages. "Aladdin" celebrated its 4,000th performance on Broadway last weekend. "Hercules" starts on the West End next month. "Beauty and the Beast" begins a North American Tour this summer. Warner Bros. produced a musical version of "Beetlejuice." NBCUniversal's"Wicked" adaptation renewed interest in the stage productions, securing the highest-grossing week in Broadway history last December at $5 million. Yes, but: Adaptations may not always be big financial wins on their own but for streamers with big pockets, like Netflix, they can boost broader marketing or talent promotion efforts. Netflix produced the limited Broadway run of "Patriots" by Peter Morgan, the creator and writer of its series "The Crown." Morgan reportedly is working on a film adaptation. Netflix's "Stranger Things" Broadway adaptation grossed about $880,000 in the week ending May 11. It's unclear how much Netflix is spending to run the show, but for major productions like " Wicked," fixed costs typically run anywhere from $650,000 to $800,000 weekly. By the numbers: Broadway recently returned to its pre-pandemic heights, per the New York Times. The current theater season has already grossed $1.801 billion, surpassing the $1.793 billion brought in by this point in the record-setting 2018–19 season, according to data from The Broadway League. But profitability remains a concern as production costs rise. Zoom out: Old fears that putting shows on streaming would cannibalize ticket sales are starting to subside. Sports, concerts and Broadway have benefitted from making their content more widely available. "The previous thinking was, if you stream things, no one will come to the theater," said Alex Levy, four-time Tony-winning producer. "Broadway is now starting to realize that streaming shows actually builds interest in the live experience, it doesn't detract from it." What to watch: Broadway has long been supported by individuals interested in supporting the arts. Many shows hardly break even.
