Darren Criss is set to bring a series of concerts to Australia in September.
The performer will bring his own four-piece band to Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart, Canberra and Sydney to perform the hits he’s become known for throughout his career, spanning everything from “Glee” to Broadway.
“Glee” is where Criss first came to prominence, playing Blaine Anderson. From there, he’s been in hits ranging from “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” to the Broadway production “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”, where he replaced Daniel Radcliffe.
His expansive career has seen him win awards including at the Emmys, Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
He’s also released music, with his debut EP “Human” debuting at the top of the Billboard Heatseeker chart. His follow-up EP, “Homework” reached No. 7 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.
Of his return to Australia, Criss said: “My first show in Australia in 2018 was so much fun and I am looking forward to coming back with my friends and seeing more of the country. We are taking things up a notch for this tour and I can’t wait to see everyone.”
Michael Cassel, who brought Criss to Australia in 2018 and is producing his national tour, said: “Darren is a consummate showman and his last concert here sold out in eight minutes resulting in many angry phone calls from his fans to the office. Well, good things come to those who wait and now we are bringing him back for a series of shows all over the country, so no one will have to miss out.”
Darren Criss live hits the Adelaide Festival Centre on Sept. 3, Canberra Theatre Centre on Sept. 4, Hamer Hall in Melbourne on Sept. 5, Theatre Royal Hobart on Sept. 7, and wraps up in Sydney’s City Recital Hall on Sept. 11.
