<h3>Since bursting onto the pop-culture landscape from Fox’s hit show "Glee" over a decade ago, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner DARREN CRISS has embodied the kind of kaleidoscopic artistry that’s entirely uninhibited by form or genre. The multi-hyphenates illustrious career spans television, film, music and stage. <br /><br />Kicking off the Christmas season Criss will perform songs from his recent holiday album, A VERY DARREN CRISSMAS. His first ever full-length project includes a wildly eclectic collection of songs from big band Christmas classics to novelty tunes to modern-day folk-pop ballads. Made with Ron Fair, multi-Grammy Award nominee and producer of numerous Grammy-Award winning hits, A VERY DARREN CRISSMAS showcases his artistry delivering both thrillingly unpredictable moments and a timeless sense of Christmas magic.<br /><br />Criss is widely known for FOX’s massively successful musical series "Glee," from which many of his performances of popular songs would lead to several Billboard-topping records. In 2015 his songwriting also landed an Emmy Award nomination for Best Original Music and Lyrics, from penning the song “This Time” for the show’s series finale. <br /><br />As an actor, Criss is a veteran of the stage whose Broadway credits include the titular role of <em>Hedwig and the Angry Inch</em> (2015), <em>How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying</em> (2012), and the most recent 2022 revival of David Mamet’s seminal play <em>American Buffalo</em> alongside Laurence Fishburne and Sam Rockwell. In 2018 his work in Ryan Murphy’s "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story" received wide critical acclaim, earning him a Primetime Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and Critics’ Choice Awards. He was also recently seen starring in Netflix’s hit series "Hollywood," for which he also served as executive producer. </h3>
