Nick Jonas - Nick Jonas Returns To Broadway For How To Succeed

The Jonas Brothers star will take on the lead role of J. Pierrepont Finch when Criss vacates the spot after a three-week stint next year (Jan12), according to EW.com.

Harry Potter star Radcliffe originated the role opposite John Larroquette to critical acclaim in March (11).

And Jonas can't wait to return to the New York stage.

In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "So excited & honored to play the role of J. Pierrepont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying next year!"

The young singer is no stranger to the theatre - he made his Broadway bow in 2000's A Christmas Carol when he was just eight and played Little Jake in Annie Get Your Gun and Chip in Beauty & The Beast in subsequent years.

He has also appeared on the Broadway and West End stages in Les Miserables, playing both Gavroche and Marius Pontmercy, and he portrayed Link Larkin in Hairspray at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles last month (Aug11).
