Nick Jonas records 'How to Succeed' cast album

[April 18, 2012]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Nick Jonas has leveraged his gig on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" into a mini-album.

Producers of the show said Tuesday a five-song EP will be released May 8 featuring the voice of the youngest of the three heartthrob Jonas Brothers singer-songwriting siblings.

Jonas is currently playing amoral corporate climber J. Pierrepont Finch, having taken over the part from Darren Criss of Fox's hit show "Glee," who briefly assumed the role from Daniel Radcliffe.

Jonas, who is committed to playing the song-and-dance part until at least July 1, has recorded "Brotherhood of Man" and "I Believe In You" among the five songs.

Radcliffe recorded his own cast album.
