Switcheroo alert! Two-time Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner Darren Criss will replace the previously announced Jeremy Jordan (you guessed it, a scheduling issue is involved) at Carnegie Hall on March 11. Criss will join Betsy Wolfe for Broadway Today with the New York Pops, led by music director Steven Reineke.
The concert will bring the best of Broadway uptown, with the program featuring a variety of musical theater hits.
Perhaps best known for playing Blaine on the Fox series Glee, Criss made his Great White Way debut in 2012 as J. Pierpont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a role that earned him a Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for Favorite Replacement (he also picked up the same trophy last year for Hedwig). His additional film and TV credits include Girl Most Likely, Eastwick and Little White Lie. In 2010, he released his first EP of original music, titled Human. He can occasionally be found at Marie’s Crisis belting Disney standards with Tony winner Lea Salonga.
