One Man May Seem
Nick Jonas recently sat down with Playbill.com to talk about his upcoming run as Finch in the Broadway musical, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
On putting his music on the back burner during his run: “The great thing about the Broadway schedule is that most shows during the week are at night, so I’ll have those days to create, and I’m sure that playing this role and being onstage will inspire me.”
On relating to Finch’s ambition: “Absolutely. He’s very driven, and that’s what I love most about the character. What’s so brilliant is that he does get around some things as he climbs his way up the ladder to success, but he never really lies. He’s a bit mischievous, but he has an honest heart.”
On learning more about his character: “The interesting thing I’ve been learning about Finch is about how he keeps his outward thoughts directly in conversation. The statements he makes in the business world are what he maybe thinks he should be saying, and they’re usually something your grandfather might’ve told you when you were younger, like, ‘I don’t think a man should trade on a friendship for a job,’ and all these other Finchisms, as I like to call them.”
Also, a new video has been released of Anjelica Huston from the new show Smash, talking about Nick’s upcoming appearance on the show. THat video can be found below the jump!
