Darren's TV Projects for 2017

I heard he's gonna sing an original song. The other songs would be covers.

Really!!!   That would be fantastic!!!  Thank you for that info, Jeremy.  I am soooo looking forward to Darren singing an original song!  

And thanks again, Jeremy for being so sweet and giving me and others not just this bit of good news, but also for that funny video.  I really appreciate it!   It's so kind of you!

Holy crap! Darren  on the Flash! And as a villain! That's so awesome!
Queue a chorus of "Darren gets all the songs/focus" complaints. Hahahaha!

Can't wait to see him reunited with Melissa and Grant and to see him play a super villain! Do we know anything about the Music Meister?

  So cute! Love his expression! He's the greatest fangirl ever!

Hi dusty!  Welcome back!

They both are so cute. 

Thanks Poppy! Waves!

I'm curious as to what the Musical Meister will be like. Is he going to kidnap the super heroes and force them to sing? Lol!

Is he out to rule the world note by note? Is he killing anyone who isn't in tune? Will he meet a gruesome end or make an escape opening up to DC possibly returning at a future date?

Ding, ding, ding!   The MM uses his powers to control good guys, and bad guys too, all the while with everyone singing.

haha!  

And please, let's hope he appears sometime later in the season!

Hahahaha! That sounds fun! He appears and everyone starts singing!

Would be good if he could return.

Aw, look at how happy these three are!   So cute!

Awww! Love it! Thanks for posting Poppy! Yes, rather ironic isn't it...how the tables have turned! Lol!

I'm curious to see Darren in his MM costume. I hope we get a picture in the next days.

Yay, love the pictures!  
I don't expect to see his costume until official press pictures get released, at least not from Darren. He was already pretty secretive about his Glee wardrobe even though it really wasn't significant.

You're welcome, dusty!   haha!

I'm curious too.  If you google  "Batman:  The Brave and the Bold, Mayhem of the Music Meister," you should be able to find videos of that episode (Episode 24, Season 1, first aired October 23, 2009).   In that episode, the MM wears several different costumes, although I'm guessing the character wears one costume in The Flash/Supergirl musical crossovers.

Yes, Darren is so good at keeping secrets about these kinds of things.   

So dailydarrennews posted this pic.  I'm squinting, trying to see what the MM is wearing.  Is that him to the left of Kid Flash (Kid Flash is wearing yellow)?   To the right of Kid Flash looks like Cisco/Vibe and then  J'onn J'onzz (the Martian Manhunter, a character from Supergirl).  Looks like the MM is just wearing regular clothes (dark clothes).

I like the idea of Darren also wearing regular clothes in the episode. Because it seems we'll barely see his face when he wears the MM costume (the character has opaque glasses and a big hat).

Better pic of the outfit via DDN/yvrshoots on Twitter:

I want the silly costume, but good point about being able to see his face.  

There are some more BTS pics on DDN, but none in costume. With Mia coming to visit him, it seems Darren is still shooting next week (and probably isn't flying all across the continent this weekend ).


Nice to see Heather and Naya liking the pic with Zach.
Melissa Benoist's sister tweeted about Darren, putting it under a spoiler because it's nice but not really relevant here:

Spoiler:

I also want a silly costume, but yet, I always vote for seeing Darren's expressive face. 

Thanks for posting that clear pic of Darren in that scene, Lin.  A very nice outfit.  (Still want a silly costume, though.)

I was happy to hear that he may be shooting scenes next week.  That's positive, hopefully he'll be in a lot of scenes.

Yes, it's always nice to see fellow Glee folks showing their support of Darren. 

Lin, I really enjoyed reading about the positive impression that Melissa's sister has of Darren, of how he went out of his way to meet her and Melissa's family, to talk with her.   I like how she said that it felt like she just met a funny, nice neighbor, versus a celebrity.   Sounds like Darren. 







Darren as usual was very kind to fans and went to say hi to them on his break:

Darren also came over on break to say hi to everybody and take pics.(His outfit is covered so this isn't spoilery) #TheFlash #Supergirl




From Darren Criss Army, an article:

MUSICAL CROSSOVER: THE FLASH's Music Meister (Darren Criss) Versus Vibe (Carlos Valdes), Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) & Martian Man Hunter in the Snow



The Music Meister’s in Central City. And it’s a Glee reunion for Darren Criss as the meister, Grant Gustin as The Flash and Melissa Benoist as Supergirl. Duet, the Flash episode in the Supergirl/Flash musical crossover, started filming this week. And was scheduled for a Fraturday shoot tonight in downtown Vancouver  as a major snowstorm locked down the city. Criss looked cold in his Music Meister suit. In the big sequence he danced toward Vibe (Carlos Valdes), Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) and the Martian Manhunter from Supergirl.

Supergirl’s part of the musical crossover airs Monday, March 20th and The Flash’s Duet follows on Tuesday, March 21st.

Poor Darren, those clothes do NOT look very warm.  Something you would wear in L.A., not Vancouver during a snow storm.

leanneaguilera My favorite Warbler @darrencriss is stirring up trouble on #Supergirl and #TheFlash! #gleeunion

Note:  Leanne Aguilera is with Entertainment Tonight.









Glad that there is no snowstorm.    Darren, if FOX doesn't order your pilot/series, you should try the CW next!

Yay!  BTS pics from "The Flash" and "Supergirl"!  
I have to admit that I too was a bit disappointed that the Music Meister's garish costume and red!hair from the cartoon is not making an appearance.  Seeing Darren going all out in that costume would have been hilarious, and I'm sure Darren would have enjoyed playing off of it too. lol.  

*Jeremy* mentioned seeing more of Darren's face in the episode's costume would be a good thing and I agree.  But some of the bts pics show Darren wearing some kind of eyewear and I wonder if it's a part of the Music Meister's costume?

If those are a part of his costume, at least they don't seem to be as huge at the cartoon version, and hopefully we'll get to see the Music Meister without his glasses at some point . . . for . . . you know . . . character development . . . and such.  Ahem. 

These tweets from John Barrowman have me giddy with anticipation of this scene! . . .

Look at that list of people for that scene!  What a great group of talent.  Cannot wait to see the scene (and the entire episode) on my television! 

These episodes are full of great people, aren't they?! Besides all of the wonderful actors, there's also Zach Woodlee, Pasek and Paul, etc. So many Team StarKid/Glee/UMich/HP tie-ins!  Love it! I need a pic of Darren and Carlos, and Darren and Tom Felton (is he in the episode?) just hanging around and/or being silly, please and thank you. 

ETA:  Is John Barrowman one of the actors that some fans were hoping would show up as Blaine's dad at some point in the show?  I seem to recall his name for this, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering wrong.

Hi Lilikoiluv!

I would have loved that!    And Darren would have had so much fun!

Good observation, Lilikoiluv!  

In the first pic that I posted, I thought the MM was wearing glasses:

But then Lin posted a clearer, close-up and there was no glasses.


So I thought maybe the glasses Darren wore on break were because his eyes are sensitive to sun?  But they don't look like his regular sunglasses and it doesn't look like it was sunny in the pics you posted, Lilikoiluv (in fact, it looks rather dark, maybe they filmed at dusk or dawn, or at night?). I guess we'll see.  Stay tuned!

Thanks for posting those tweets from John Barrowman, Lilikoiluv.  I'm also excited to see so many talented folks in that scene.   John Barrowman's character is originally from Arrow, isn't it?  And I think I heard that Victor Garber, who plays the professor on Legends of Tomorrow (and also played the character previously on The Flash) will also be in the crossover(s).   Lots of talented persons, involving cast from The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow!  Am so looking forward to seeing Darren with these talented folks!  

Yes, so many Glee and U of Michigan/StarKid connections!  So glad that Zach is involved.  And love that Carlos and Darren (and Pasek & Paul) as U of Michigan pals are working on the same project!

According to Buzzfeed, Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) wrote a song ("Superfriend") for the crossover to be sung by Grant and Melissa, and Pasek & Paul wrote a song to be sung by Grant.  I am wondering/hoping that maybe Darren will sing an original song that he wrote . . .

Oh-I can't remember about John Barrowman being mentioned by fans who hoped he would play Blaine's dad.   Anyone else remember?

Thanks for your post, Lilikoiluv!
