Last year, Darren Criss won his first Tony for Maybe Happy Ending, and he has already given another Tony-worthy performance.
Earlier this week, he took part in MCC Theater’s Miscast, and this is the role he was born to play. It is up there with Michael Crawford as The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera, Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice in Funny People, and Patti LuPone in Evita.
What is this career-defining role? Little Orphan Annie! That’s right. He came out wearing a curly wig and a little red and white dress, and belted out Maybe.
However, just like he did on Glee, he made that sad ballad his own! And now I need a rock version of that showtune. Someone, make that happen.
You know, as soon as Ryan Murphy sees this, he is going to ask FX if he can do American Horror Story: Annie.
You can watch the digital broadcast of Miscast starting on May 12th on YouTube.
