Elsie Fest's Darren Criss Shares the Five Essentials of Surviving a Music Festival


September 14, 2017

Elsie Fest returns to New York October 8. Joining creator Darren Criss this year for the outdoor musical theatre festival are his Glee co-star Lea Michele, Alan Cumming, Ingrid Michaelson, and more.


This marks the third consecutive year for the event, which Criss tells Playbill allows theatre enthusiasts a place to let loose and be “rowdy.” But don’t let that be a deterrent. While it sounds potentially overwhelming, Criss is here to share the five must-haves to ensure a successful Elsie Fest experience.


Watch the video above to see what the Hedwig and the Angry Inch and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying alum behooves you to bring.


Elsie Fest, taking place at Central Park SummerStage, will also feature Jeremy Jordan, Norm Lewis, and Moana’s Auli’I Cravalho.

Jeremy, sorry for asking, what is this?

Thanks, Jeremy.    I like all these songs.  I think my favorite song sung by Blaine was "Dark Side," and I also like "This is the New Year."

Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek sits down with GLEE star and Broadway favorite Darren Criss (HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH) to chat about the upcoming Elsie Fest. In its third year, Criss’ ELSIE FEST is a concert celebrating musicals, featuring stars and songs from Broadway and beyond. Criss also discusses his involvement in the upcoming new installment of Ryan Murphy’s FX series AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE, in which he plays serial killer Andrew Cunanan.


This interview originally aired on The Broadway.com show, which you can watch on YouTube, Facebook, smartTV apps and on Broadway.com.

It's interesting to hear Darren talk about Versace and his communications with Ryan Murphy about being cast in it.  Love hearing Darren talking about how this is such a big break for him and that he is so very excited/exhilarated about this project.  He said it seems that he waited his whole life for an opportunity like this--and it is so overwhelmingly important to him.  I like how he talks about the major milestones of his career:  StarKid was a launching pad.  Glee was a catapult.  And Versace is his big break.      He talked about how he and Ryan discussed it very early on, then some time passed, Darren had sold his pilot script for "Royalties,' and was working on another "thing" when he read an announcement about Versace American Crime Story.  So he contacted Ryan and they talked it out, and then that other "thing"/project then was put on the backburner, so that Darren could focus on working on Versace.   ( I still think that this other "thing"/project is "Royalties," especially since in this interview, he actually mentioned about the very same time he was so happy about selling the pilot script for "Royalties" was when he found out that Ryan was about to work on Versace.   But we shall see. . . )   Darren also stressed that the real life story surrounding Versace is very tragic.  And he gives more clarification about why he posted that instagram (haha!  Paul:  "So what's going on . . . you didn't have enough followers?").   I always appreciate how supportive Paul Wontorek is of Darren.  It's so nice to hear Paul being so enthusiastic about both Elsie Fest and Darren being cast in Versace.

The audio is based on an interview that Darren did with Paul Wontorek of Broadway.com on August 4, 2017 (starting Point 16:38).  However, the audio seems longer, and the video seems edited so that it is shorter.  Warning:  If you are at work, etc., this video does contain that Instagram that Darren posted (about being sunburned etc), along with a paparazzi photo of Darren while filming Versace wearing a speedo.

As far as I know, i have not yet heard if any other performer at Elsie Fest, in addition to Lea, is offering VIP packages (meet and greets).  Hopefully, there will be an announcement soon.

It looks like the VIP packages for Lea are sold out:

Note:  You still have to buy a ticket for General Admission.  VIP package does NOT include a General Admission ticket.

Elsie Fest is just around the corner!  Buy your tickets! 

This is funny.

October 8 - Elsie Fest

Elsie Fest is back! Stage and screen favorite Darren Criss’ “pop culture cabaret” will bring together a bevy of Broadway stars in its third year. Jeremy Jordan, Ingrid Michaelson, Lea Michele, Alan Cumming and Norm Lewis are just a few of the greats that will be taking the stage at the outdoor music festival, which is going on this year at Central Park’s SummerStage. You never know what the artists taking the stage will have in store!

Content Producer Matt Rodin
"This is one of my favorite events, hands down. Every year is packed with surprise arrangements of classics and fresh takes on new songs. As a regular concert goer and a theater junkie–Elsie Fest hits the sweet spot."
