Darren's and Chuck's concerts at El Plaza Condesa in Mexico City (March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2018)
From Darren Criss Army:
Such a beautiful view of the crowd.
darrencriss What a weekend. Wish I could play CDMX every single night. #TBT
via Darren Criss Army
Saw that there were a bunch of more YouTube videos posted of the concerts. I think I saw these on Darren Criss Army.
Videos by Yarlhine Ramirez, of the March 31 concert on Saturday. The audios are very clear (a few of the Glee songs will have the sound of the audience singing along, but you can still hear Darren's voice clearly) ; and the view is fairly close.
Videos by Estefania Itandehui Millan (of the March 31, 2018 concert). Some of the videos are nice close-ups. You can hear his voice very well in some videos and pretty well in others (depending on how much you can hear the audience singing along).
That long scream from someone in the audience when Chuck starts singing. Such nice harmonies between the brothers Criss.
Videos by NMS3112. Nice close-ups.
What a Feeling, plus We Like It. Nice close ups. Audio is a bit fuzzy, but so fun to see Darren close up in concert. At about point 4:30, he sings "We Like It."
Fun to watch Darren and Chuck.
"Human." Very close up and clear audio. Only the beginning is shaky. His smiles at around point 0:45 and at 0:54 are very cute.
Nice close-up.

Beautiful close ups. Audio has a little bit of static, but you can hear him pretty well.
Very nice close up. Audio is a bit fuzzy/has static (but it's fun to watch the video due to the close-up.)

Former Glee co-stars Lea Michele and Darren Criss are reuniting to go on tour together. The pair stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to announce their upcoming LMDC tour. In true Broadway fashion, Michele and Criss sang to announce their latest venture.
Criss – whose solo EP Homework peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart in January – also shared on Twitter that they would be performing a variety of tunes. “It’ll be a little bit of everything- Lea’s solo music, MY solo music, & lots of songs we’ve always wanted to do from Glee, Broadway, and beyond,“ he said.

Broadway and Glee alums Lea Michele and Darren Criss will launch a U.S. concert tour—the LM/DC Tour—May 30 in Nashville, Tennessee.
The two met in 2010 on the set of Glee; Michele went on to star in Murphy’s Scream Queens and Criss just recently wrapped the latest iteration of Murphy’s American Crime Story anthology series: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
Michele got her start as a replacement for Young Cosette in the original Les Misérables. She went on to originate the role of Little Girl in Ragtime, played Sphrintze in the 2004 revival of Fiddler on the Roof, and originated the role of Wendla in Broadway’s Spring Awakening.
Criss broke out on Glee and later moved to Broadway, replacing Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He later starred as the title role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
The actor also founded Elsie Fest, the music festival that blends pop music and Broadway. He and Michele sang together this past summer at the third annual festival in Central Park.

Broadway.com wrote: Darren Criss Opens Piano Bar in Los Angeles & Announces Tour with Lea Michele
April 9, 2018
Darren Criss is a busy man! The Emmy nominee and his fiancée, Mia Swier, officially opened their Los Angeles piano bar this weekend. And this morning, Criss announced a music tour with former Glee co-star Lea Michele.
Criss and Swier’s piano bar, Tramp Stamp Granny’s, celebrated its grand opening with a tight-knit group of family and friends. In a casual inauguration speech, Criss described the piano bar as “a place where people can drink and sing along.” Criss kicked off the bar’s opening with a lively performance of The Beatles’ tune “Hey Jude.”
Criss and Michele made an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show to break the news of their upcoming multi-city tour, sharing just what audiences can expect from the concert. “It’s obviously some Glee stuff,” said Criss, “some Broadway stuff, some of her stuff, some of my original stuff, so sort of a mixture of everything.” Criss and Michele saw the tour as the perfect opportunity to collaborate more after having sung together at Criss’ celebrated outdoor music concert Elsie Fest.

I won't attend the concert but I would like a show that is mostly focused on Glee songs. They can do all their duets (except Sudden Seymour, and also Extraordinary Merry Christmas because it's not the season) and some of their solos.
I'm sure a lot of the Glee fans also would love a lot of the Glee hits. I don't remember how many duets Darren had with Lea on the show. I liked their Suddenly Seymour duet.
haha. It would be weird to do Extraordinary Merry Christmas in the spring/summer. I know they had some more duets that they did at charitable events, like Falling Slowly.

Wow, Jeremy, that is impressive that you know that! Kudos to you! Thanks! My favorite of the Glee Blaine/Rachel duets is "Don't You Want Me." They both sound good, and Blaine and Rachel both were so cute and funny. I like the dancing in Broadway Baby.

Darren's concert in London at St. Pancras Church (April 20, 2018)
I was out of town for the weekend, so I'm behind posting about the London concert. It looks like all the wonderful videos by Darren's wonderful fans show that the concert at St. Pancras Church was a very special one. It seems there was a reverential air to the concert, and remarkably, there was no singing along by the audience except for Going Back to Hogwarts.
Extended video of Somewhere Only We Know. This was always one of my favorite Glee songs sung by Darren. Darren sounds beautiful performing this song in this church. Very nice close ups and very clear audio by Perry O'Bree.

Very cute pic:
jonohart13: They say it takes a village - and last night this was ours. The crowd went home and we had this special space all to ourselves to celebrate a great show. A huge thanks to @darrencriss and @rockerrick for kicking off #ChurchKeysMusic in #London with @alexbloom_ (not pictured). And a shout out to my partners @davestewarteurythmics and David Messer. We did it!
The sound of Darren singing Somewhere Only We Know, without a microphone, in this beautiful church with the lovely acoustic, was very special.
jonohart13: It’s Magic! #DarrenCriss floats above the crowd - and the #turnkeyensemble string section - for a totally acoustic finale. We cut off the sound system and it was just the strings and Darren - no amplification. A truly magical moment between fan and artist – and a remarkable experience for everyone in the room. Such a treat for #churchkeysmusic and #stpancraschurch. #theCCT

The Times wrote: Lea Michele promises intimate Pittsburgh show with co-star Darren Criss
May 5, 2018
PITTSBURGH — “Glee”-ful moments will abound when Lea Michele and Darren Criss share the Benedum Center stage June 2 as part of a nine-city tour.
[. . . ]
“We’re still planning the structure of the show,” Michele said a week ago in a phone interview. “We’ve been planning a lot by phone as Darren jet-sets all over the world. He’ll be like, ‘Hey, I’m getting on a plane in London and flying to Mexico, so I’ve got 20 minutes; let’s brainstorm.’ So although we’re still putting it together, I know it’ll be an incredible show.”
As performers, they bring different mindsets. “Darren is definitely more spontaneous,” Michele mirthfully said. “I’m definitely more structured.
[. . . ]
She realizes she and Criss will forever be associated with “Glee,” and that’s fine.
“We both loved being on ‘Glee’ so much,” Michele said, adding that this tour is a way they can pay tribute to the show while interacting with its fervent fans known as Gleeks, a bunch of whom she met backstage at the Central Park concert.
“There will be no costume changes or crazy lights,” Michele said. “Just a great band with us singing. We want it to feel like you’re just hanging out with us, like Darren and I do at his house where we’ll be playing piano and guitar and just singing. I want it to feel very natural so the fans get a little glimpse of what it’s like spending intimate time with us. We have an incredible fan base and we appreciate them, and this is a way for us to thank them for their support.”
Concert: "Darren Criss: Intimate and Live in Sydney"
From Darren Criss Army:
DARREN CRISS: INTIMATE AND LIVE IN SYDNEY
Friday 18 May 2018, 8PM
Eternity Playhouse 39 Burton Street, Darlinghurst
Tickets: $99
Pre-sale begins Thursday 10 May at 9am AEST. The pre-sale code can be obtained at http://darrencriss.me/Sydney
Broadway and television star DARREN CRISS will perform INTIMATE & LIVE, a one-night only concert, in Sydney on Friday 18 May 2018 at the Eternity Playhouse, Darlinghurst.
A multi-faceted artist with a career spanning television, film, music and stage, Criss will present a kaleidoscope of pop hits and musical theatre staples, performing on both guitar and piano accompanied by a string quartet.
Best known for playing Blaine Anderson on global TV phenomenon “Glee”, Criss will be back on Australian TV screens, starring in the award-winning series “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” available to stream and screen on Foxtel from Thursday May 24. The miniseries premiered to rave reviews in the US in January, with Criss’s performance hailed as “electrifying” and “career-changing”.
On Broadway, Criss replaced Daniel Radcliffe in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”. He later starred as the title role in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” to great acclaim. In 2017, he debuted his new indie-pop band Computer Gamesalong with his brother Chuck Criss, the two releasing their first album “Lost Boys Life”. Most recently he released a five-track solo EP “Homework”, which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart.
Criss joined “Glee” during its second season as a supporting character but soon became a fan favourite, leading the ‘Dalton Academy Warblers’, an a cappella singing group that were rivals with ‘New Directions’. Blaine quickly became a love interest to Kurt Hummel (played by Chris Colfer) and transferred to McKinley High, but not before sharing a drunken kiss and an amazing duet with Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michele) to The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me.” Criss has recently announced as US concert tour with Lea Michele.
