You may recall Criss from his captivating performances as the charming Blaine Anderson in the TV sensation Glee or his chilling portrayal of spree killer Andrew Cunanan in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

However, his talents extend far beyond the screen; Criss is a true Broadway dynamo. From stepping into Daniel Radcliffe’s shoes in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying to taking over the lead role in Hedwig and The Angry Inch, he has left his mark and earned accolades along the way.

But that’s not all – music runs through his veins. With chart-topping EPs like Human and Homework, and the heartwarming Christmas album A Very Darren Crissmas, he has conquered the music scene as well. Last year, he unveiled his third EP, Masquerade, and embarked on a massive US national tour.

Back in 2009, Criss created the beloved group StarKids during his time at the University of Michigan, achieving fame with the cult hit A Very Potter Musical.

Darren Criss last graced our shores in 2018, leaving fans longing for his return. Now, the wait is over, and with hits from his remarkable career and his infectious energy, this upcoming tour promises to be an unforgettable experience. So, mark your calendars and get ready to be mesmerized as Darren Criss takes Australia by storm once again.

“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,” Criss says. “We are taking things up a notch for this tour and I can’t wait to see everyone!”
