Wardrobe malfunctions are nothing new, but Nick Jonas’ latest onstage mishap takes the cake.
On Tuesday, March 4, the 32-year-old former Disney star took to Instagram to share an embarrassing moment from rehearsals for The Last Five Years on Broadway.

“I was singing ‘Moving Too Fast’ — one of my character Jamie’s songs — and I’m supposed to jump onto this platform, then pull my costar Adrienne Warren up on the platform with me and keep singing,” Jonas explained in the video.
Setting the scene, the “Jealous” singer made it clear he wasn’t exactly alone — rehearsing in front of director Whitney White, musical composer Jason Robert Brown, and other members on the production team. “And I do it, and I hear a [rip noise],” he continued.
That’s when things went downhill.
“I’m like, ‘Oh no. Oh no,’” the Jumanji actor recalled. “And I feel a cool breeze in a place you don’t want to feel a cool breeze.”
To prove it wasn’t just a minor tear, Jonas held up the camo-colored pants he’d been wearing — now sporting a massive rip down the center.
“I tried to duct tape it, didn’t work, tried to put some safety pins in, didn’t hold,” he admitted. “So thankfully, the stage management department jumped over to Target and bought me some black shorts to finish rehearsals in.”
Jonas wrapped up the video with a simple, “That was my day. How was yours?”
Fans wasted no time chiming in.
“I love this so much lol so relatable,” one person wrote.
“Okay but is it even a theatre rehearsal if there isn’t a wardrobe malfunction ,” another joked.
“Not the two safety pins trying to hold them together ,” chimed in a third.
“I thought you were gonna say you hit the note of the song wrong or something, I didn’t expect a rip down your pants lmao,” someone else added.
The Last Five Years hits the stage this spring, marking Jonas’ big Broadway comeback — his first role since How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying over a decade ago.
