The cure for a case of the Mondays? Apparently, the Jonas Brothers.
Kevin, Joe and Nick brought their Burning Up Tour All Over Again to the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami at the start of everyone’s workweek, and we didn’t hear any complaints. Just the opposite.
The only downside, judging by the videos shared on social media? A few folks may have been lagging in their cubicles the next morning.
Local lifestyle Instagram page Only in Dade shared some footage of the JoBros rocking out on the Kaseya stage, with some commenters who were at the stadium, calling the show “fire,” “incredible” and “amazing.”
As per the playlist, the superstar siblings from Wyckoff, New Jersey, did a mix of new stuff and old faves to make every generation happy. Think “When You Look Me in the Eyes,” “Love Bug,” and “S.O.S.” They also got able assists from not just their little brother Franklin, but Will Ferrell’s talented son, “Asleep Talking” singer Magnus Ferrell, and Colombian Latin Grammy winner Ela Taubert (”¿Cómo pasó?”).
If the tour name sounds familiar to diehard fans, that’s because it’s a revival of the Jonas Brothers’ 2008 “Burning Up” trek back when they were youngins’ promoting both their third album, “A Little Bit Longer,” and Disney Channel hit movie “Camp Rock.”
What’s old is new again. “Camp Rock 3,” a so-called legacy sequel, dropped in August — though streaming this time around, not in theaters. The trio reprise their roles as members of the fictional band Connect 3, and also serve as executive producers.
Though the guys look like they haven’t aged a day since their teenybopper era (thanks to obvious time logged at the gym), all are full-on adults with families now.
Kevin, the eldest at 38, has two girls with wife, Danielle, with whom he costarred in E!’s “Married to Jonas” back in the day. Joe, 37, also has two daughters, with ex-wife, “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner, who gave birth to both children while the exes were living in Miami’s Bay Point; and Nick, 34, has a daughter with his actress wife Priyanka Chopra.
The latter, aka “the cute one,” told Parade last month he couldn’t believe almost two decades had passed and admits they were a little over their head when first starting out.
“We really didn’t know what we were doing. We were so young and so green,” Nick told the outlet. “We had a lot of big ideas, and thankfully we had a lot of grown-ups around us to help us shape those ideas into something that can really connect with our audience.”
