Nick Jonas may be in a Broadway musical, but Priyanka Chopra is the one singing — his praises, that is.

On Thursday, March 20, Chopra made it to the Hudson Theatre in New York City to see her husband in the highly anticipated revival of The Last Five Years. And on Friday, March 21, she shared a series of photos from the experience on social media, boasting about the production in her caption.

"I still cannot get over what I saw last night," The Citadel actress, 42 — who shares 3-year-old daughter Malti with Jonas — wrote in an Instagram post commemorating the event. "This show is so special in such incredible ways, and they’re both so talented🥹🥰🤯."

"Who else has seen the previews yet?," she added, tagging The Last Five Years's Instagram profile and hashtagging "Broadway."

The Last Five Years, which also stars Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren, began previews on Tuesday, March 18. Directed by Whitney White, the Broadway production is set to play for a limited, 14-week run through June 22.

While Chopra, according to her social media posts, was working out of town for Jonas' first performance, she did share a series of supportive messages about him.

"So proud of you @nickjonas," she wrote in one post, over a black-and-white photo of the stage of the Hudson Theatre in New York City, where The Last Five Years is now in previews before opening on April 6.

In another post, Chopra shared a tearful emoji and a heart-smiling emoji over a photo of the musical's official Playbill. "First preview," she wrote.

The Last Five Years follows the demise of a relationship between a rising novelist named Jamie (Jonas) and a struggling actress named Cathy (Warren), across two different timelines. His perspective is told in chronological order from when the couple first got together, while hers is told in reverse, from the end of their marriage.

This is the first time the two-person musical has ever been on Broadway — though in the 15 years since book writer, composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown wrote the musical, it has become a beloved property in the musical theater canon.

Much of that is thanks to the 2002 Off-Broadway production's cast recording starring Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott, which made songs like "Nobody Needs to Know," "Still Hurting," "If I Didn't Believe in You" and "The Next Ten Minutes" into show tune staples.

That puts a lot of pressure on this revival of The Last Five Years, which Jonas, 32, admitted he's been feeling.

"It's very intense," the Jonas Brothers singer and stage veteran noted in a video on The Last Five Years' Instagram account. "It’s natural to feel a little nervous, so I’m trying to step into this with real focus and confidence. But it’s a big show and it’s got a lot of fans [all] over the world," he said.

Luckily, the rehearsal process has gone smoothly. "Putting the whole thing together has been an absolute joy," Nick said during a joint appearance with Warren on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month. "We're having the best time."

"He's such an incredible teammate and such a hard worker," Warren added of Nick. "He ups the ante every single day and I'm like, 'Wait a minute. I gotta step up!' "

Tickets to The Last Five Years are now on sale.
