As much as i love Darren, and as perfect as he is, he did great in this, and he is the bets hedwig, but I just need to recognize Rebecca. Damn, she's talented.
Darren delivered the BEST performance that I've ever seen him do. He was raw, he was beautiful, he was Hedwig. He completely embodied her and everything that she's been through, and it was mind blowing. This was his dream role, and he was phenomenal. I've never been more proud of him, and proud to call myself a fan. He truly is an AMAZING role model.

me throughout the show: are- but are you *SURE* this is the same darren criss from starkid? the same person? this guy played harry potter? its the same one? u sure? really? ok ok ok ok ok o-
I saw Darren as Hedwig in the second row orchestra center, it was absolutely amazing 😍 I was the girl he spit on it that one scene 😂😂😍😍 best moment of my life ahaha
i didn't realise i had watched this too many times until a friend asked me what i was saying under my breath and realised i have quoted a good 5 minutes of monologue
I've always loved this show, but as I lay awake at 3 am the day of my drama exam, panicking to hell and back, I have so much more respect for anyone and everyone who has ever played Hedwig and remembered all those lines
Darren Criss. an absolute awesome human being and an extraordinary actor. Hedwig was bis dream role and he had the Chance to play it for 3 months. I am really happy for him and soo proud. He is phenomenal on the stage. Half way through I totally forgot that it was Darren who stands there on the stage. I really believed that it was this Hedwig, this poor human being, who learned the hardest topic in our lives. Totally fucking awesome. I wished I had the chance to see him, but unfortunately not. but he did amazing as said a Million times now xD Love it love it love it!!!!
Darren Criss! One of the only poeple who can wear this and looks after all so proud. I'm so happy that you made it Harry freakin' Potter, Blaine Anderson and Music Meister. I hope I can see you in much more productions, Darren. You are such an amazing actor and singer.❤️
I know you posted this 3 years ago but I've never seen anyone recognise him for his role as music meister! That was my favourite episode of the flash and he did such a great job with his role
I came for Darren criss but I stayed for this amazing, beautifully portrayed story. This is the third time I’ve watched this in the past four days. I’m just absolutely touched by this character and I never want to part from her. Darren is incredible in this as well I just can’t get over how impressed I am with his work. (and nowhere do you see me complaining about getting to stare at his thighs for 90 minutes.) he really is a role model for me, too. I hope that by the time I get where I’m going, I’m as empathetic and caring as he is.
I was lucky enough to see Darren in his final performance on Broadway 19 July 2015 and my life can be easily divided into two parts - life BEFORE seeing Darren live and life AFTER. Such incredible talent from a stunningly lovely man. I'm so glad this exists.
Dude this is crazy. I thought Darren Criss was a bad actor bc of his work on glee (he was good in his first season, but the rest.. Not so much). But watching him as Hedwig blows my mind! He does this character so well! He really brings Hedwig to life!
i'm necroing here but darren was unfortunate--nobody could've pulled blaine off. the writing for blaine wasn't the best. blaine's character jumped all over the place, one scene he's x and one scene he's y, which was confusing for viewers but i imagine even more so for the actor. and actual character development for blaine only started in like the 5th season? after the quarterback? so there also wasn't a lot of stuff for darren to showcase... hope you checked out his (emmy-winning!) performance in acs versace too! he was simply, simply phenomenal as andrew cunanan.
I wish I could've seen this live. I still really want to see this musical, whether it's Darren or not, but I'm a high schooler in Japan so that won't be happening anytime soon. I really wish I could've seen Darren's show live though.
Thank you for uploading this! I was lucky enough to see Darren as Hedwig twice, and one I was sitting with this same view and then and the other I was in the front row and Hedwig sang to me!!
Taylor A. You're so lucky! I'm a high schooler living in Japan so i have no chance. I really wish I could've seen this live. It would've been THE best day of my life.
I saw every one of the Broadway Hedwig leads. And JCM was the most believable, NPH the best performer, Darren had the clearest voice (so you could follow the story.) Lena was the most dangerous when she did it!
Darren Criss.....cuanto talento!!! lo mejor de Glee. Vi toda la serie gracias a él. Apenas apareció en la segunda temporada se destacó y hacía que valiera la pena ver la serie. Gracias por subir estos videos para poder seguir disfrutándolo quienes estamos lejos y no podemos verlo personalmente. Brillo en HATAI !!!!! Felicitaciones Genio
Penso che non esiste persona al mondo in grado di arrivare dritta alla mia anima come Darren... Con la sua voce, il modo in cui muove le mani, il corpo, le espressioni. È paurosamente perfetto nel ruolo di Hedwig... è di una struggente malinconia, ironia, energia, forza, grinta, dolore, gioia, teatralità.. è tutto ciò che Hedwig deve essere e lo amo totalmente.
"If I wanted to see a mess in a Broadway show I would have seen Spider Man"
I am speechless. Thank you, Darren Criss.
you can tell darren is feeling himself i those outfits.
Wouldn’t you be if you looked like him? 😂

Yeah exactly the same Harry we used to know...Its Harry Freakin Potter...

I wouldve killed for those seats! So Jelous!
+Connor Picard ahaha it was incredible!!
+Maddi Bowman I loved it so much but I was last row balcony

+Maddi Bowman it was literally the most amazing experience of my life

He truly is.

Preach! I just watched it, and I'm literally clapping after every single song! He's so amazing ❤️
Seee told ya ;) He's really extraordinary *.* ♥ Emmy La Feber
same he totally changed how i see darren. I saw the show and was fucking awesome!! it was the best thing I've ever seen!
He was supermegafoxyawesomehot 😍
FandomxLover Yes! I too am very proud of him, to see and hear how much he's grown as a performer since his start on glee he played his dreamed role.
“He told me not to talk with my mouth full” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
"Find your cornrow of the sky" omg died of laughter
Same!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Darren is awesome ! I love how he moves as Hedwig.

Totally awesome! Supermegafoxyawesomehot 😉 But seriously, amazing.

The only thing missing is a tub of red vines

What the hell cant they do?!
Nice little reference to Glee LOL

Everyone else: Is here for Darren
Me: Is here for Rebecca Naomi Jones
I'm just here for more Hedwig, I think all i have left on YT is Anthony Rapp after this
I was lucky enough to see Darren in his final performance on Broadway 19 July 2015 and my life can be easily divided into two parts - life BEFORE seeing Darren live and life AFTER. Such incredible talent from a stunningly lovely man. I'm so glad this exists.
Wicked little town is such a gem. Literally one of the greatest songs ever written.
I just saw him in L.A. with Lena Hall too. Hedwig is one of the best shows to hit Broadway in a while.
darren criss amazing actor and singer .i cant believe how great this guy is.
Fantastic, love Darren he is totally awesome. I have watched this at least 6 times . Can't get enough. I'm 73 you make me want to be 50yrs younger.
JCM is Hedwig and always will be in my eyes but DC does a powerfully raw version that's probably the best non JCM Hedwig IMO.
I saw this show at least 8 times, 6 times with DC. He was by far the best. Such a great show & incredible performance.
kind of embarrassed that I revealed that information lol.
@@melissaxsue don't be lol there's nothing wrong with Watching this multiple times. I have.😊

I wouldn’t base acting from glee. It was the writing that was bad, I found blaine adorable lol , they plots just got bad
I love Darren, his Hedwig voice reminds me of Stewie Griffin which just makes his performance 10 times better!
OMG I saw him last month and he was just AMAZING! He's so talented and extraordinary!!
I wish I could've seen this live. I still really want to see this musical, whether it's Darren or not, but I'm a high schooler in Japan so that won't be happening anytime soon. I really wish I could've seen Darren's show live though.
whoever is laughing in the background, i love you and your laugh is wonderful
I cry during 'wig in a box' everytime I watch this without fail. You're amazing Darren!
What can't Darren do??
He's like a Red Vine, What the hell can't he do?
+Brittany Carter omg yess lol avpm
+Brittany Carter (NeverInEnoughFandoms) true
apparently can't answer my tweets lol
Host bumps and rejoins for HAIRSPRAY live.
Holy s... I can't find words to describe how I feel now...
Terrific show! Darren again showed that he is a genius! 😍
Darren's talent is an endless one his hedwig was unbelievable!thank you for sharing it my dear friend😊

Lily Fields I’m in the same boat - I live in New Zealand so there’s no chance
@@heatherlupin5901 haha same I live in New Zealand too
I'm pretty impressed. I would have broken my neck in those shoes.
Ikr!!!!!!
Lets talk about how he did this show in "HEALS" and i cant even walk straight
i saw this show 6 times each time with darren and it just kept getting better and better
How can I trade lives with you/go to the past
+Emily Ogden i wish i could go back to the past and see it 6 more times
A very very good performance . Darren is a wonderfull character actor. Blessings
Did he... did he put on black converse shoes at the end...? I'm sensing a Team Starkid reference...
it's been a year, how have I never found this bootleg of the entire show... i'm complete
The UK really needs a UK cast of this show or for them to bring it over .
Hope he follows through and brings it over then .
He probably will if the U.S. tour is successful.
that whole gummi bears part though lol
Oh gosh Harry freakin' Potter and Blaine Anderson? Is that really you?😯Damn Darren!❤️😂
The absolute best. I wish there was a cast album with him
I need to say it...DAMN DARREN
As a lesbian, Darren as Hedwig gives me very confusing hetero thoughts...
I saw him this month for my birthday and I want to go see him again!
OMG HIS GLEE JOKE💕💕😌
Savannah R really it's just not the nice thing to do
When was it
@@emilymartin3770 41:23 " Hurt Locker"
The Hurt Locker isn't Glee joke. They created the Hurt Locker Musical to explain Hedwig's presence on Broadway. It has nothing to do with Glee though
Thank you so much for recording this I was there in the same theatre the same night same show and I love it!! It is great! Thanks
My life..... is complete..... *dies*
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!
I'm so glad you shared this -- thank you so much! This is truly a great performance!
Tremendous. Thank you posting this!
strange to see Darren in women's clothes XD
but awesome performance❤
Was my first time seeing Hedwig at all and I loved it 💜
Going to see this on Tuesday in L.A. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait.
IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS THANK U FOR POSTING. THE LAST TIME IT WAS UPLOADED IT WAS TAKEN DOWN
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm English so couldn't get to see Darren perform but this is just amazing!
Wow!! Darren that was a Amazing!! performance ♡
i wish i could have been lucky enough to see this live, im gagging over how talented he is!
I saw every one of the Broadway Hedwig leads. And JCM was the most believable, NPH the best performer, Darren had the clearest voice (so you could follow the story.) Lena was the most dangerous when she did it!
how lucky we are to be alive right now?
Holy SHIT, I’ll say it again…
Darren looks daaamn good in dresses. 🤤
“Bring me versace jeans” well uhm hate to tell you but another character you played decided to kill versace-
LMBOOOO!!!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I’ve always think of that lmao,,, the parallels 🤔🤔🤔
@@crisp8516 🤣🤣🤣 same!
Well this was before the Versace tv show.
Thank you so much for this!!!
Thank you for uploading this! I've been looking everywhere for a Darren Hedwig bootleg :)
+Daniel “onehundredpercentschorr” Schorr can you put English on this video?
Blaine what happend don't tell kurt
👏👏👏👏👏
Kurt is probably is in the front row 😂
Titus Battiscombe ha! i thought th e same. maybe he evolutioned to a trans.
Titus Battiscombe you realise that Blain and Kurt are just characters that Darren and Chris play right and so is headwig for Darren
+Jaylen Sarah yes I know I was onlyjoking
Thank you so much for uploading this! I really wanted to see Darren on broadway as Hedwig and now I did :) Thank you!
je tien a te remercier du fond du coeur !!! les musique me font une tel sensation !!!!!! Et Darren qui est merveilleux dans tous ce qu'il touche♥ ...
