Don’t Miss Darren Criss (“Glee,” How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) currently starring on Broadway in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s landmark American musical. This heartbreaking yet wickedly funny and raucous show has inspired a generation and will keep you engaged and entertained throughout.
5 Reasons Why Darren Criss Rocks in Hedwig and The Angry Inch
1. His voice – It’s one thing to be able to sing on a television show but carry a song on Broadway. Nailed it!!
2. Charisma – Criss captured my heart from his first appearance on Glee singing Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream. Being only a few rows back, I felt like teenager. He truly commands the stage. He had the audience and me eating out of his hand (literally) from the minute he hit the stage.
3. Passionate Performance – You want to be entertained by a performer who puts his heart and soul into every song and Chriss does just that. His performance from beginning to end was flawless.
4. He is Funny – who knew?
5. Looks good in a dress and short shorts – Not many men can carry off looking fabulous in a mini-skirt and then be half naked at the end in a pair of leather shorts. Let’s be honest, he’s hot and eye candy for both men and women.
And I would be remiss in not mentioning the talented Rebecca Naomi Jones as Yitzhak whose voice is amazing. And yes, let’s thank the equally talented band.
You only have until July 19, to see this talented performer and then Taye Diggs takes the titular role of Hedwig.
