'Glee's' Darren Criss Exits 'How To Succeed In Business,' Nick Jonas Enters
January 23rd, 2012
?Darren Criss will give his farewell performance in the Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Sunday, January 22.
Criss, who is best know for playing out-and-proud Blaine Anderson on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, made his Broadway debut on January 1, succeeding Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) in the role of corporate ladder-climbing J. Pierrepont Finch.
The 24-year-old Criss missed two episodes of season three of Glee to star in the production.
According to Playbill, Criss proved to be a major draw for the play.
Pop singer Nick Jonas will take over the role of Finch beginning on Tuesday, January 24.
“I keep saying it's overwhelming, it's surreal,” Criss told Playbill after his premiere performance. “I feel so completely humbled by this whole thing. Never in my wildest dreams would I thought this would ever happen. I'm taking it in my stride and just trying to give it my all, and be thankful. This doesn't happen everyday.”
