Darren Criss' debut as Blaine on GLEE last night has made him an overnight sensation.

What Broadway show past, present, or future would you cast him in?

Let's play!

He'd be a great Henry in N2N. Oh, wait.

Very funny TheatreFan4, but why would he waste his time in a cr*ppy show like that?

Yes. I thought that was obvious.

I second TheatreFan4's idea.

Let's bring A Very Potter Musical to Broadway and then he can be in that.

I can dream, can't I?

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

I think he could be a lovely "Luisa" if they ever put "Fantasticks" on Broadway.

seeing this thread made me happy! yes he's a good singer, glee just autotunes everyone. I DEFF recommend the potter musicals on youtube tho.

I can see him as fiyero, but it might not work vocally...but please put him in those tight pants! ok thanks

i can also see him as franki valli in jersey boys...anyone? dark eyes and locks? the voice? i think he can do it.
we love you darren! congrats on all your success, and more to come!

^I second Henry in n2n, Andrew Jackson, and AVPM/S on Broadway...

Might I also suggest Will in American Idiot, Roger in RENT, and even Antony in Sweeney...

But yeah, AVPM on Broadway might happen if the stars align... I know a ton of people are insterested in doing just so...

Overnight sensation???
He appeared to be very short, or was that just my TV?

He's no overnight sensation at least yet... cult star is a better term, and I think it's fair to say that he IS a cult star.

That being said... how about Pippin in Pippin?

Nothing. Without autotune, his voice is god awful. Good for doing EPs and things like that, but his voice without enhancement is just not a Broadway voice. Listen to "Get Back to Hogwarts" in A Very Potter Musical. His voice is going all over the place.

"i can also see him as franki valli in jersey boys...anyone? dark eyes and locks? the voice? i think he can do it."

Unless he crushes his nuts, there's no way he can get that high.

I really don't think AVPM/S are good enough to even be considered to be brought to Broadway, so let's drop that pipe dream. I do like his voice though. However, if he lasts a while on Glee, and then goes to Broadway, I can picture the marquee: "Starring Darren Criss from Glee!" Not that I mind or anything, but still...

Erm, but the one song he sang on Glee wasn't even auto-tuned. I would think musical theater fans would be able to tell such things.

Coalhouse Walker or maybe Horace Vandergelder.

An overnight success? Really?

Maybe we should wait a little long to determine that his life/career has changed.


(And can Glee hire ANYONE that looks the right age?)

If Radcliffe weren't already lined up for it, I'd suggest H2$.

Not Autotuned? He sounds like Cher on some of those notes.
