As he embarks on his next Broadway adventure, ‘Maybe Happy Ending,’ Darren Criss reflects on shows past in Us Weekly’s Backstage Pass
Darren Criss plays a robot in his new Broadway show, Maybe Happy Ending, but don’t be fooled: IRL he’s a real human being with nerves, excitement and a ton of stories from his experiences on stage throughout the years.
The Glee alum’s latest show, Maybe Happy Ending, opened on Broadway earlier this year following his successful runs in shows like Little Shop of Horrors, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. While anything can happen in a live production, Criss revealed that his craziest live show experience occurred during Little Shop.
Keep scrolling for more behind-the-scenes stories from Criss, including how he calms his preshow nerves before he takes the stage at the Belasco Theatre for Maybe Happy Ending, which is now on Broadway:Honestly, I’m not really good at those. If anything, I just try not to eat close to performance. That’s kind of a basic thing. There’s no real rituals. My dressing rooms are always pretty spartan. I don’t decorate it. I’m just there to do the work and celebrate a story.
