Nick Jonasis “only human” and therefore prone to onstage mishaps — the latest of which occurred at his latest rehearsal forThe Last Five Yearson Broadway.

The 32-year-old musician revealed in anInstagram videothat he ripped his pants midway through rehearsing the Broadway revival alongside his costarAdrienne Warren, the musical composer Jason Robert Brown, director Whitney White and other production members.

“I was singing ‘Moving Too Fast’ — one of my character Jamie’s songs — and I was supposed to jump onto this platform and then, you know, pull my costar Adrienne Warren up on the platform with me and keep singing… And I do it and I hear a [rip],” Nick recalled.

He continued, “I’m like ‘Oh no. Oh no.’ And I feel a cool breeze in a place you don’t want to feel a cool breeze.”

“[I] tried to duct tape it, didn’t work, tried to put some safety pins in, didn’t hold. So thankfully the stage management department jumped over to Target and bought me some black shorts to finish rehearsals in,” he concluded. “That was my day, how was yours?”

He echoed his question in the caption for the video, writing, “Anyway, how’s your day going?”

“Let’s just say it was a bad day to choose to wear white clothing,” Joe said at the time. “You think it might be a little toot, it might’ve been a little something else, a little something extra. So it was like a mid-wardrobe s— change during the set.”

“The whole time, I thought this is definitely — somebody is going to be able to see this and know what is happening, but it was all in my head,” he added. “It wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought. But such is life. It has happened to many artists. I feel like I’ve paid my dues, and I feel like I’m a part of some secret club now.”
