We Wish Darren Criss A Happy 31st Birthday With A Dream Cover Song List

February 5, 2018

Today is the birthday of one of our favourite people, Darren Criss and there is no doubt he has had quite the year. One of the highlights of everything Criss did in the last 12 months has to be the release of his second solo EP Homework which featured a mixture of new songs and a beautiful recording of “I Dreamed a Dream.”

I never saw these photos before. They were taken in 2011?  Darren really has not changed much.  He ages very well.

In honor of Darren 31th birthday, please enjoy this photoshoot from 2011 that I kept on my computer for too long…

haha!  Thanks Lilikoiluv.     And you're welcome - it was fun posting the birthday wishes.  The videos are always so wonderful to watch. 

Lilikoiluv wrote:It makes my heart smile whenever I read/hear how people in the industry and beyond (espeically those in the upper echelon) see and appreciate Darren's many, many talents. 

Me too, Lilikoiluv.  Me too.




I remember when Darren was cast on Glee, that several of the folks in influential positions noted how Darren created a great impression on them.    You guys have better memories than me.   If you want, please fill in the blanks.

Exclusive! "Glee"'s Ryan Murphy Discusses Darren Criss, Whether Kurt and Blaine Will Be Boyfriends and More!

11/15/10

AE: What was it about Darren Criss that initially appealed to you?

Murphy: He had auditioned and auditioned many, many times and I personally never saw his auditions. Then when we were casting, the casting director said, “You gave us many choices.” As soon as Darren came on and his audition, I was like, “That’s the guy.”



AE: Had you seen Criss’ [i]A Very Potter Musical before?

Murphy: No, I didn’t know anything about Darren. I just knew he was right.


AE: What do you think of his success of “Teenage Dream?” It’s become Glee’s biggest hit yet.

Murphy: I’m proud of that. That’s our biggest-selling single ever in the history of the show and the fact that it’s one boy singing to another boy on a network television show and it’s a No. 1 song and it sold probably 200,000 copies in one week is a very profound thing that I’m personally very proud of.

I never expected that to happen. I’m catching up with the week that was and figuring out, OK, now we have this great commodity in something that people have really embraced. It just shows to me that people are hungry for that.

Glee Casting Director Robert Ulrich Puts Life in The Glee Project! Podcast Interview


July 13, 2011

“I had met Darren Criss for the role of Finn. He obviously wasn’t right for Finn at all. But I hit it off with him immediately because he’s the greatest guy you’ve ever met. Then he came in for the role of the quadriplegic football player. But it wasn’t until Blaine came along that there was the right role for Ryan to meet him… Through that process, I did watch the Harry Potter musical. He’s an amazingly talented kid.” 

-MrMedia

Note:  If you listen to the audio interview of Robert, Darren is discussed at point 6:00.  Robert also said that Darren is "extraordinarily talented."  haha!  I'm guessing that the other musical Robert referenced was Me and My Dick.

'Glee' Music Producer Tommy Faragher discusses The Warblers' Success, Working with Chris Colfer + Darren Criss

April 22, 2011

Could you tell us a little bit about working with Chris Colfer and Darren Criss?[size=13]

Oh, yeah. They’re great! When I first heard Darren’s voice on the audition tape that they sent me, I knew immediately that he was a star and I knew that we could make great music together. And so I was definitely asking them to please select him [laughs]. He’s the guy – he’s got such a warm, thick soulful sounding voice that I knew in the studio we would get a really great result. And then when he flew out [to New York] to do the vocal, when he came in the door, this is going to be easy. We laugh, we joke about everything. We work really, really hard but then between takes we always find a moment to somehow ease the stress of the whole arrangement and just have fun. [We try] keeping it serious in terms of achieving the work that’s important but then realizing that the best way to get that result is to make everyone feel comfortable and not stress about it, you know? It’s a hard balancing act, especially when someone’s coming out doing something that know one’s really done before. It was all new for everyone.

Must be bizzare for Darren to meet people in his regular/work life who not only are aware of the show, but know it the the point of being able to sing along to the songs because it had a real impact on their lives.

Yes, it's a very sweet video.  And yes, to see the joy on Darren's face, is touching, because he's so happy that they know the words to this StarKid song!  You see Mason breaking out into a big smile when he sees how happy Darren is.   I also like the cute interaction between Mia and the guy who people think is Michael Thomas Grant.  The video feels very personal.  And the message from Mason Alexander Park, is very touching.  I love reading people's messages about how much StarKid and Darren meant to them when they were young.   

Thanks Lin, for researching Alex Brightman. 


From dailydarrrennews:







So cute of Darren to thank "Jake and Maggie."  Wonder what they did to help Darren get back to the set of The Flash?

Going by DDN, they "don't really know each other" as of August 2015, but met at least twice since then.

Spoiler:

haha!  You're so funny, Jeremy.   


It is funny to think that I've been a fan of Darren for over five years.  I don't even remember when I started to follow Darren, but it probably was sometime during the end of season 2 of Glee, or beginning of season 3, so at least since early 2012.  I know others have been following him since his StarKid days (2009?  2010?).    It's nice to know (but no surprise) that he has such loyal fans.

I thought I also would post this about Mason Alexander Park's conversation with one of Darren's fans.  As she says, this just confirms my belief that Darren is such a beautiful soul--the main reason why I am such a big fan of his (along with his talent and quirky personality).

I think I’ve never shared this here but the video Mason just posted reminded me of this…when I went to see Hedwig in LA, my sister, a friend of mine and I had the chance to talk for a bit to Mason when he came out of the stage door and he was the sweetest. We chatted for a while and he told us how amazing, kind and sweet Darren is, especially as a coworker. Like he told us how, even if he never got to actually play Hedwig in SF nor LA, Darren let him handle the rehearsals so that he could be prepared and be ready and that he made him (and everybody else) feel important in the process. Like, he made sure to point out how genuine and nice he is and how working with him is a beautiful thing since he makes sure to always make everybody feel included. I was honestly bursting with pride. I’m so happy to be a fan of such a good person
