Darren Criss - Closing Night H2$ Speech

[@NinaStarkid247]

Sitting here with a box of tissues at hand. I was at this performance, and cried so much. Were all so proud of our little dapper darren. I believe in you...truly, I do.

[@DarrenCrissLvr]

there are no words... i cried when he near cried when he was thanking his family... so down to earth and totally amazing!

[@LauraChewy]

2:47 every time i watch him say "my beautiful family" and his voice catches i just want to burst out in tears i don't think there is a more beautiful human being in existence

[@Marie4376]

I have no words to describe this man. He has grown so much, going from youtube to Glee and now to Broadway. Yet, he remains humble. You can tell that he is shocked by everything that happens in his life. But, he shouldn't be because he deserves everything he has and will get. I am so proud of him, I believe in him, and I know that he has so much to offer the world.

[@DarrensGirl1958]

I am crying the happiest, proudest tears right now. Damn you, Darren, for being such a fantastic person.

[@lolgurl4life34]

I started to cry when he choked up omg I love him so much he deserved everything he's gotten so far (sob)

[@dreamjinx40]

Seriously, I don't know why I'm crying. I just love seeing him on stage. And yeah, it's awesome. He went from Michigan to Broadway. Amazing guy. I totally look up to him.

[@Witbeyondmeasure1]

That's it he's finally broken me... I don't think I can handle all it takes to be a DCriss fan anymore. So much emotional effort required! It's like a frigging career... Being generally a rational human being, I can't even explain to myself why I love him so much :'-) happiest tears i've ever cried...

[@gleeallblacks]

I'm so proud of him!!! And he thought he would never be on broadway! I love you Darren. We're all so very very proud. :) :) :)

[@mariale2892]

Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! i'm so proud of him and even if i couldn't go see him I am so glad everyone else did because he is very talented and humble and is wordy of everything he has accomplished ... n.n

[@roxford13]

"Well sir, I was on Glee.." Cue screaming fangirls. You guys are amazing! :)

[@TheMira428]

[@jackbarakatlove]

I can just imagine him breakng down right after the curtain dropped. Outstanding man, right there.

[@DewDrop411]

To our esteemed director, Mr. Rob Ashford, thank you for believing in me as well.To our genius conductor Mr. David Chase as well. And of course, to this wonderful group of people onstage and behind the stage, the "Brotherhood" of the world wide wicked family, this is not only my last show, but the wonderful Cameron Adams and Christopher Hanke.

[@ireallylovedecandjmr]

[@XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I'm crying so hard right now.

[@yuranruben]

[@RitaProductions94]

This broke my heart but then I saw your description....ugly sobbing

[@IAreGeorgia]

So proud of this guy

[@CourtneyJanvrin15]

cool, I'm just sitting alone in my room crying because of this perfect man.

[@galaxia205]

@DewDrop411 thank so much for write this =D

[@TrueGoldenArrow]

The girl who said "I Love you Darren!" at around 2:07 is my best friend lol. So this is the show she went to see.... Lucky.

[@LaBombadeGhetto]

When his words get all chocked up at 2:47 I fucking die.

[@liketicktick16]

how cute is he

[@cassiee529]

MY BABY

[@DewDrop411]

@blardybaboons Darren: Good God! They said yesterday that I had to say a couple of words after the show, so... Frankly, I'm speechless. It's been--It's been such a whirlwind, this whole ride for me, it's been, uh, crazy. So I just wanted to say a couple of "Thank yous" before I go, since this is my last show. Um, thank you to, obviously, the wonderful producers who believed in me to let me do this and be a part of this wonderful project.

[@TheHorriblehanna]

When his voice catches like he's gonna cry...*places hand over heart and faints*

[@XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I don't know what makes me more sad. The fact that he was on Broadway or the fact that I didn't get to see him.

[@DewDrop411]

Darren: That wasn't the point! Only because I'm a sucker for musical jokes, Dave, give me that again! Audience member:I LOVE YOU DARREN Darren: *Laughs* There it is. Just pretend this happened! Because I planned this. . . Well, sir, I was on Glee! Anyway, I wanna get out of here, so thank you so much. You know, life, I always say life is only as good as those you get to share it with, and it has been an absolute pleasure sharing it with these wonderful individuals up here, and with all of you.

[@music12332]

Darren: "I guess I should go back to doing what I was doing before." Beau Bridges: "And what were you doing?" Darren: "I was on Glee." Oh Darren, you could have said "Team StarKid" and we would have been equally, if not MORE happy.

[@Djellydonut]

@ahanghay I so did! I was just sitting here like "This is a nice speech..." and then he got all chocked up and I was like "AWWWW!!!!!" :'D

[@lisashmo]

this is where he belongs. love him on glee but i can't wait to get my ass to new york for his next show. because he will be back!

[@definatalieee]

Darren: Well sir, I was on 'Glee'... Audience (and myself): WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ASDFGHJKLLFRUJDHUI

[@Jackson5819]

go Darren

[@jovanddavid]

*sniff* Damn me for living on the side of the planet!

[@SomeonewhoisFrench]

Huh. I never knew a crowd could collectively scream an 'Aww!'.

[@DewDrop411]

And it's been short but sweet but now, I think it's time that I, uh, I think it's about time because--This firm's been pretty good to me, and I think it's time that I went back to my--I resigned, and I took the blame for what I did, and I went back to doing what I did before I came here. Beau Bridges: What did you do? Darren: Well, sir, I was on Glee! Audience: Laughs and applauds

[@MusicCrazy182]

well sir... i was on glee.

[@DewDrop411]

I wanna make this quick, I want to get out of here, so please let me finish. So, about, like, ten years ago when I was growing up in musical theatre I did a musical called "Do I Hear a Waltz," and there's a wonderful line at the end of that show where, uh, the female character says, "Thank you so much for something between ridiculous and sublime," and it's been beautiful sharing it with all of you and with my beautiful family *voice cracks* who is here and who's been here this whole time

[@Gleekforeverify]

He looks so nervous omg just im so dead right now ;_;

[@keikustar]

Bitch, you got to go see this three times. I'm so jealous. Anyway, MY BABY T^T
