I need to figure out some way to go to NY in January....

It was a couple of weeks ago that a report claimed Darren Criss was in talks to replace Daniel Radcliffe in the Broadway revival of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

However, neither the Glee star nor anyone involved with the show has confirmed the news.

So is it happening?

It sure is. I just got word that the official announcement will come tomorrow.

It was only a week ago that Criss remained coy on the subject. "I don't know!" he told TVGuide.com. "People keep asking me about it, and it's kind of cool that that's out there in the world, but I cannot confirm anything at all."

How to Succeed will mark Criss' Broadway debut. His three-week run will kick off on Jan. 3, according to Deadline.

Sadly, Criss won't be eligible for a Tony Award for his work because he did not originate the role in this version of the show. Not to mention that the Tonys already snubbed Radcliffe by not even nominating him. For those keep track of more successful How to Succeed stars, Matthew Broderick won for his performance in 1995 as did Robert Morse in 1962.

DARREN ON STAGE? ON BROADWAY?!?!? HOLY.FUCKING.SHIT! nsdfljkghspeoighpseoirg

ETA: Um. Holy shit. Just found round trip flights for less than $150. This might actually be doable....

*sigh* I won't be able to see this, so hopefully you (and others in the k_b comm) will, because I am going to need a full report, LOL.

Thanks very much, now DD14 is bugging me to go to NY to see him... sigh.

Yeah, there's probably like a 1% chance of this happening as it seems anything concerning Darren just DOES NOT HAPPEN for me. Boo. :-(

I know! This is huge. Such an accomplishment, even just for 3 weeks.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :-D

Same here. I'm astounded that I got to go to Glee Live. Not only was there a tour stop near me, but I was able to afford tickets/hotel room, and had a friend who drove up with me. Never will work out like that again, LOL.

That's gonna be the other thing - I really don't want to go alone. LOL It might be kinda tricky to try and find someone to go with....

[slayerkitty.livejournal.com]

That too. I'd never be able to go to NY alone.
