Fun fact: Did you know Nick Jonas lends his voice to this weekend’s production of “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying?”

Jonas, who starred in the 2012 Broadway revival, reunited with his longtime friend and Shenandoah Conservatory Director of Musical Theatre Kevin Covert () to record the voice of the book that guides J. Pierrepont Finch up the corporate ladder!

“Having met in 2012 on the Broadway revival of ‘How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying,’ Nick is one of my closest friends. When we decided to do the show at Shenandoah Conservatory, I chatted with him about it while we were on vacation this past summer. I suggested that he play the narrator of the book, and he immediately agreed. He went into the studio and recorded three different takes of each voiceover. He is incredibly supportive of me and the musical theatre students at Shenandoah.” — Kevin Covert
