Nick Jonas recently took some time to talk to Extra about a variety of topics including a few hints of an appearance on the Great White Way.

When asked if he has considered performing on Broadway, Jonas says "Yeah, you know, there is actually the possibility of a couple of things in the future. It is all about the right timing and the right show, and to have it be good in that moment. But I could be back here soon so just keep your eye out!"

When it comes to theater in general and his role in Les Miserables, Jonas states "I've always been a musical theater fan, it has been part of my musical journey, if you will, and it was fun to go back [to Les Miserables] and have the opportunity to do that.

Jonas also goes on to give some props to Glee, stating "I am a big fan of the fact that they are incorporating music in the way that they are, as new generations come up and are introduced to new music I feel that it is important, and it certainly was important to me to be surrounded by an environment of people who loved music like I did, and who introduced me to different songs... that they do this for new generations is great. If there were a spot for me on there that would be killer, that's what everyone wants these days. So I'm just humbly presenting myself as a music lover, and if there was a spot for me I hope they would consider me."

Before claiming the hearts of teenage girls everywhere with his brothers, this Jonas brother claimed parts of a different kind on the Broadway stage. The pop music star had roles in Beauty and the Beast, Annie Get Your Gun, and Les Miserables ten years ago when he was just seven years old.

Nick Jonas was last seen in the West End production of Les Miserables, in which he played the role of Maurius. He was also seen in the 25th Anniversary Concert at the o2 Centre in Greenwich.

The Jonas Brothers - comprised of Kevin, Joe and Nick - got their start on The Disney Channel's Camp Rock and have since released four albums: It's About Time, Jonas Brothers, A Little Bit Longer, and Lines, Vines and Trying Times. In 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards. As of May 2009, before the release of Lines, Vines and Trying Times, they have sold over eight million albums worldwide. In addition to Nick's impressive Broadway credits, Joe has appeared on Broadway in La Boheme.
