Hedwig show--SF.


This is sweet.  Looks like Darren was commenting on the glittery gold bowtie. 

@Rambo_Ranger_: Still dying, I can’t believe I met him.  @DarrenCriss










Darren was nice enough to take off his glasses so that he could take this pic. 



@creampanda445: How sweet of you to take off glasses and strike the pose! We got this IPhone case on Etzy lol. #DarrenCriss #Hedwig #darrenishedwig

@kirakiramarie​ Hedwig curtain call 10/6. They killed it as always! #DarrenIsHedwig #HedwigSHN

Curtain call from last night's show. 

dailydarrennews

Thank you for posting that review, Joy.     Nice review of Darren, Lena, and the production team.

Yes, Darren is superb! 

And this made me laugh:   "His leg muscles practically have their own leg muscles." 



And thanks Lilikoiluv, for posting the fan reviews.  Glad to hear that Darren's parents were there on Opening Night to show their support.  Now, we know why Darren is so kind.  His parents are so thoughtful and caring. 

Referring back to one of my posts, about a comment from these two friend who saw Hedwig on Opening Night together.

Poppy wrote:I thought this comment was really interesting.  I'm not sure, but I don't think she was previously a fan of Darren.  She and her friend are artists.  Her comment was very perceptive, about not meeting many actors, and that she found it interesting to meet an actor who may inhabit different characters ("interesting to meet a person and see a mix of lives flicker back and forth in their eyes.  I don't meet many actors.  That must be necessary to be Hedwig & he was perfect.")


Enlarge this image Click to see fullsize

chachasikes At @kmimagine’s insistence we waited in a line to meet the cast of @hedwigonbway / and then how sweet that was because we were able to thank @darrencriss for his soulful and rockin performance as Hedwig. It’s was special and for many reasons & feels like the New Year began. Interesting to meet a person and see a mix of lives flicker back and forth in their eyes. I don’t meet many actors. That must be necessary to be Hedwig & he was perfect.  “try & tear me down”


Note:  Her friend who went with her to the show posted this comment on chachasikes's instagram:

kmimagine   "Admittedly jealous  of your moment.   But I think he knew you were someone special who appreciated the purity of his art form ; ) also what a gent saying hello to ALL of his fans."

Dailydarrennews posted more comments from them.  I especially like that comment from chachasikes.


kmimagine  "They had a moment which I failed to capture but @darrencriss also thinks @chachasikes is awesome ; ) #hedwigandtheangryinch @shnsf"

chachasikes  "It really was special.  I feel like the ghosts of Hedwigs-past flow through me."

Is that Darren's EP on the merchandise wall?  You mean in addition to all of the Hedwig goodies, I will finally be able to replace my "Human" EP?   8)

The prices look a bit steep to me though. 

One more clearer curtain call photo from DDN:

Seeing Darren Criss live on Broadway was one of the best things EVER. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is itself such a unique and meaningful show, and Darren, Rebecca and the whole team just made the experience even more awesome! I waited 2 hours for Darren on stage door and he was the coolest guy ever, signing every single one of people's playbills and posters, one by one with a big smile on his face. This whole night was just such a crazy and unforgettable experience, and I'm so glad I had the chance to live it.

Note:  I scrolled down the Twitter pages of both Sara and Patrick for the period of Season 6 Glee, and I did not see any tweets indicating either of them followed Glee or Darren.




Kevin Hines is a motivational speaker, a bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, and a mental health advocate.   In July 2015, he had written an article about Darren in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, entitled "Hedwig & The Angry Inch:  Expectations Blown," but the link to the article no longer works.   Some excerpts from Kevin's article were preserved by some of Darren's fans. 

Kevin Hines wrote:
The Crisses fostered Darren’s whole heart. They supported his theatrical vision. In doing so, he knew, whatever he wanted to become, he could. Moreover, he would. His true talent is a rare commodity that I fear so many actors and artists do not have and cannot obtain. It was clear during his rendition of Hedwig, that he had it down pat..

Darren is on a wonderful journey. Around every corner, through every crevasse, and beyond every turn he will not cease to amaze us all. Darren Criss, is in my opinion, one of the greatest, most talented, mesmerizing, versatile and powerful performers we will ever have the pleasure to enjoy.

Another excerpt:

Kevin Hines wrote:
There were some junctures within the show that feel like a Darren Criss, visceral, palpable, ingenious ad-libbing experimental event. Maybe it was the way that Criss never held back, and never once tried to please. He audaciously played the infamous character Hedwig . . . It was as the Twitter hashtag these last few months has so clearly said, #DarrenIsHedwig..

What I saw on that stage was a young singer, dancer, actor, and artist (an absolute triple threat) who gave himself entirely to such an endeavor. His role was ambitious, and it was eccentric. Little do most know that young Mr. Criss has been wishing for this day, playing this role. On this very stage since he was 16 years old, since he was first introduced to the story by his older brother, Chuck. A #TheaterHistorian and a true thespian, Darren has seemingly always been.

Luke Vincentini is a long-time Hedwig fan.  I scrolled down his twitter page during the period of Season 6 of Glee, and he did not follow Glee or Darren.  Here, he is having a conversation with another long-time Hedwig fan, Lauran Moran (who also did not appear to follow Glee or Darren, at least based on her twitter page during Season 6 of Glee).

This person went to see Hedwig because she knew her little sister was a big fan of Darren and of Glee.   It was interesting to see her (big sister's) reaction to seeing Darren in Hedwig.

My sister is a huge fan of Glee and an even bigger fan of Darren Criss. When she learned I was going to New York on business and I asked her if she wanted to come along with me for some sister time I didn't have to twist her arm too hard - she said yes in a flash!

I did not know what to expect. I purposely did not go to YouTube and look at the show up. I purposely did not watch any trailers or read about it because I wanted to get the full experience of my first Broadway show.

It was gut wrenchingly sad. It was racy, tawdry, wickedly funny, intense, loud, raw, powerful, full of energy. And oh my God was it powerful - just all around incredibly amazing.

I am a salt of the earth rock and roll girl. And this show did not disappoint - the numbers were great - the songs were great - Darren Criss delivered and his costar Rebecca Naomi Jones brought the house down! Not only can Darren sing - Rebecca Naomi Jones has some serious pipes as well.

I laughed- I cried - I found myself saying "WHAT THE HELL THIS IS CRAZY!!!"

This kid really did a great job. The cast members were great as well as was the band.

Another tweet from Lauren Moran, a long-time Hedwig fan (as of May 8, 2015, she had seen the show on Broadway 19 times), about Darren in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Some tweets from someone who is a long-time fan of Hedwig and also is a fan of Darren.  It was interesting that this Hedwig fan was aware that other Hedwig fans would not believe him in terms of his praise of Darren's performance, but he nevertheless felt it important to state the truth about how much Darren's performance touched him.

He wasn't supposed to be THIS GOOD.

I'm so mad because no one is going to believe me but oh my god

Darren Criss was excruciatingly good. He told a completely new story. I wasn't expecting to be this astounded.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

He brought to light the abuse that's latent throughout the script. And the self hatred of being trans.

I've never seen someone on that stage exhibit dysphoria like Darren did.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

But that was a polished act. With strong acting choices. And an extreme self awareness.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

I will never. Ever. Hear these songs sung that well and with that much care and attention and magic ever again.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

Unreal. Fucking unreal. Tommy Speck and Hedwig's relationship. Luther and Hedwig's Mom's Relationship. Details that Change everything.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

And. The. Fucking. Singing.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

I know my reputation precedes me and no one is ever gunna trust me when I say Darren is game changing...

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

@rainerpism but know that I respect Hedwig too much to lie. She has been breathed new life. Give Darren a chance. You'll see a new show.

— smort romaine (@rainerpism) May 23, 2015

And a friend of @rainerpism also made a comment about Darren's performance:
