Darren Appreciation Thread: General News about Darren for 2017

Hope that "A Night of Light" was a great success tonight!  I'm sure it was wonderful!

This week will be a busy, but fun week for Darren! 




Darren's Schedule:


April 6, 2017.             WE Day-New York.

April 8, 2017.             University of Michigan Bicentennial Celebration.

From dailydarrennews:


TBT:

dailydarrennews also tagged Joe Walker.

From Darren Criss Army:


I'm guessing after the FX Upfront and Celebrity Bowling event, Darren and company decided to continue the celebrations.

From dailydarrennews:


Nice pic.  Aw, look at Chuck's arm in the sling. 

dailydarrennews:

  @weplaycomputers​  Happy #NationalSiblingsDay

   charlescriss fun fact: Darren dragged me to a free parkour class offered at our local gym I wanna say 2007? Anyway, he was great at it and I dislocated my shoulder. Very illadvised.  #nationalsiblingsday @darrencriss @weplaycomputers



Note:  I remember reading about the Parkour class before, and thinking that was why Darren (as Blaine) was so graceful when he jumped on furniture and balanced on a Dalton Academy sofa.    (BTW guys, I added a few new smileys.  )







Hey, better late than never!   It's nice of Darren to tweet this.

I'm not sure, but I think Darren is referring to @hellomaleka's design work for The Criss Project for the shirts at Represent.com.

This design:

(Note:  The sale of the shirt above has closed).

I really do like the rock and roll shirt design.  Very cool!




I wonder if Darren knows about the other birthday fundraising drive by @crissfundraiser?  They raised $2,855 for his 30th birthday for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

FINAL FEB 5TH TOTAL  $2,855! 
Thank you to EVERYONE for your support & generosity for @BCEFA! See you in a few days for raffle details!

And they tweeted this:

This isn't Computer Games related, but we hope you see this too, @DarrenCriss! https://t.co/Jjecx3w487

@DarrenCriss @zingermans @UMich Hi Darren! We also raised almost $3,000 on behalf of @BCEFA for your 30th! #BroadwayCares pic.twitter.com/uZbkHCjpGF

I like the new smilies 

I'm glad, Jeremy. 


Aw, it looks like Darren and Mia hosted a party in honor of the cast of An American in Paris and his friend, Etai Benson.  How nice!

Aw, this is cute.  Darren especially looks thrilled to meet Bill Nye (the science guy)!


@weplaycomputers Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! @BillNye

Edit:  I originally missed the play on words.  Darren as Blaine performed "Bills, Bills, Bills" on Glee.

Assuming this is at Coachella?

I'm late in posting these:

I'm truly very sad to see that darrencriss-news.com has expired.   Alex's site was such a valuable resource to Darren's fans. 

You can still find pages on The Wayback Machine by searching.  Link:  https://web.archive.org/

I'm guessing that speculation that Darren may be back on Broadway again (probably in Lazarus) is true. 

He's wearing the same outfit as he did on the day (March 23, 2017) we saw pics of him during a secret photo shoot with Sophia Anne Caruso and Today Tix.


Nice pics of Darren.  I like the playfulness of these pics.

Great pic!  Love their outfits.  Mia's new hair style is very cute.  Love the background of the city.   What event was this pic connected with?

Darren’s website has been updated to include American Crime Story and Computer Games. Check it out at darrencriss.com!

via Darren Criss Army


It looks very professional!   Well done!

Putting this update here, as well. 

Timeout.com previously  had reported that Darren was among the persons who would be participating in Buzzfeed's Queer Prom.  However, the article no longer is listing Darren's  name.

While Darren was in Miami, he and Mia did karaoke.    I didn't have time to post these videos earlier.
