"Emmy and golden globe winner Darren Criss" that makes me so happy 🥰

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

He forgot to mention the SAG Award, which he also won. It is given out by the Screen Actors Guild and is just as, if not more, important than a GG. In short, Darren swept all the television awards for his role in the Andrew Cunanan story, which is rare.

[@charchaz00]

@@musicaltheatergeek79 I was going to mention that, but then I thought of all the other actors who've swept all three, they always miss out SAG awards, which is indeed a bit strange. It's the most prestigious of them all in my opinion. But they seem to side with Emmys and golden globes with announcements.

[@celestinebuendia]

Harry Potter really did grow up too fast.

"bla bla bla didn't he say he won't play gay characters anymore lol" ......yeah because singing a sondheim song in a LGBTQ beneficent event where all the songs were purposely gender swapped totally correlates

[@stephaniel2850]

Exactly! haha. His point in saying he would be intentional about not taking more LGBT roles for a while was that he recognizes his privilege and doesn't want to end up taking opportunities away from LGBTQ actors. Obviously, for a one-off benefit event like this where the whole point is about gender-swapping and such, that's really not an issue. I'm sure he'll stick to what he said in terms of future TV/film/Broadway projects, but for little fun gender-bendy events like this, of course he's not going to shy away just because it might be gay :)

For everyone commenting about how Darren said he wont play gay characters anymore, which i completely agree with btw, queer people should play roles designed for them, we should also realise things aren't clear cut & understand this isn't a normal thing it isn't the same as auditioning, being cast and then being paid to portray a role. This along with all the other benefits/fun events they have that take place throughout the year for Broadway are when they do switch out from the traditional cast roles and just have fun with songs/ shows/ characters they wouldn't usually do. I love all versions of this & adore this version aswell and the three of them looked like they had a blast doing it. Couple of mistakes but, this song, which is probably one of the hardest to do due to the lyrics and speed (this isn't the fastest version i'm aware) and filmed in front of a live audience i'm impressed that's those couple of lines was all it was and it was saved amazingly and didn't stray or really go out of the context for the feeling of the song.

"Don't tell Paul but I'm not getting marry today" YOU CAN COME,KURT

[@srt42893]

it's ironic for darren to sing this considering he just got married lol

[@desertrose777]

No matter what I see him in, whether it's Glee or this he will always be Harry Potter and I'm so happy that he has found the success he so rightfully deserves. ♥

[@TristanK.430]

But he’s not Harry Potter

[@desertrose777]

@@TristanK.430 He played Harry Potter in the Starkid musicals. You should look them up, they're pretty fantastic

I never knew I needed this until now-

[@varianbond]

3:44 is the moment I decided Darren Criss needs to play JD from Heathers.

[@kainoahthefrog]

Yes

[@ErinLovegood73]

This was a ingenious staging. Very clever. Loved it

[@harrisonknights8169]

This is very similar to the London version of Company that’s currently on

[@ajkaty]

Really? Are both Paul and Amy swapped in the London production, or is it a gay couple like here?

[@harrisonwilliams4962]

Alexa P Amy is now Jamie. Gay couple. Bobby is now Bobbie a woman. And the three woman are now men. I saw it recently and I have to say, I loved it. The new arrangement to have female Bobbie is sooooo much more interesting than a male ome. Stakes are higher and I was generally much more invested in the storyline. Loved it.

god did this to us, damn him to hell

[@KathleenSayWhat]

Re: the comments about him playing gay for this - it’s Broadway Backwards. The whole point is that it’s been genderswapped, man.

[@user-xb5bz4fu9o]

@rain3470 rain3470 I mean this is celebrating his award it'd be weird if someone else played him

[@jvanness90]

Except it’s not completely genderswapped. Paul should be Paula. The argument doesn’t really hold up.

[@melloheya]

rain3470 rain3470 this is an event made specifically to support the lgbtq+ community and part of the point is for things to be genderswapped.

[@JeromeGentes]

The new lyrics are actually the ones Sondheim created for the current London production of COMPANY, where “Bobbie” is female, and the male “Jamie” sings this number before his wedding to “Paul.” Check it out on Spotify, etc.

[@celestinebuendia]

Dude, a straight couple genderswapped would still be a straight couple.

[@user-lf1ef8wp6h]

Darren Criss is the gayest straight man ever. FIGHT ME

[@Kackley86]

And we love him for it.

[@cmonkaratechamp533]

what’re you talking about he’s metrosexual

[@emmebiggs1920]

The fandom of starkid has taken over.

[@abbyreaves595]

Starkid and Glee fan here: I just automatically see him as Blaine because his Harry looked so different (?😂), and it’s crazy because when he proposed to Kurt he was so in love with him and he would have never had a second thought on whether or not he wanted to marry him. It’s honestly making me kind of sad sitting here thinking this was going on behind the scenes of their wedding, but, you know, just average overthinking fangirl tings. 😆✌️

[@Lavendersunflower357]

Darren Criss is so fucking talented love him🤩🤯 He actually remembered the words 😂😫

From Starkid to Broadway, we love you Darren!

[@sofiavilar7817]

i love how the comments are divided into "He's not getting married because he has to go back to Hogwarts with Ginny" and "He's not getting married because he is already married, to Mr. Kurt Hummel"

[@visceraet]

Pardon me, is everybody here? Because if everybody's here I'd like to thank you all For coming to the wedding. I'd appreciate you going even more I mean, you must have lots of better things to do And not a word of it to Paul Remember Paul? You know, the man I'm going to marry But I'm not, because I wouldn't ruin anything As wonderful as he is. Thank you all for the gifts and the flowers, Thank you all, now it's back to the showers Don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today. Listen everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for A wedding. What's a wedding? It's a prehistoric ritual Where everybody promises fidelity forever, Which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of, Which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize He's saddled with a nut, and want to kill me, which he should. Thanks a bunch, but I'm not getting married Go have lunch, 'cause I'm not getting married You've been grand, but I'm not getting married Don't just stand there, I'm not getting married And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today. Go! Can't you go? Why is nobody listening? Goodbye! Go and cry At another person's wake. If you're quick, for a kick You could pick up a christening But please, on my knees, There's a human life at stake! Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear Or do you want to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of you? It isn't only Paul who would be ruining his life You know, we'll both of us be losing our identities I telephoned my analyst about it, and he said to see him Monday But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other garbage. I'm not well, so I'm not getting married You've been swell, but I'm not getting married Clear the hall, 'cause I'm not getting married Thank you all, but I'm not getting married And don't tell Paul, but I'm not getting married today.

[@feedthekitty1]

That was fantastic! Would also love to see Andrew Keenan-Bolger. I hope there will be more videos posted!
