An Evening with Darren Criss

Emmy and Golden Globe winner Darren Criss brings An Evening with Darren Criss to Paramount Hudson Valley on May 30, 2026, for an intimate and electrifying concert experience.

Criss first burst onto the pop-culture landscape over a decade ago on FOX’s hit musical series Glee, where his performances of popular songs led to multiple Billboard-topping records and an Emmy nomination for Best Original Music and Lyrics for “This Time,” written for the show’s series finale. Before Glee, he gained massive online recognition as an actor and songwriter for the viral YouTube phenomenon A Very Potter Musical, building a devoted fanbase through StarKid and establishing himself as a singular creative voice.
In addition to his concert work, Criss is a celebrated stage and screen actor and is currently starring in the critically acclaimed Broadway hit Maybe Happy Ending at the Belasco Theatre, directed by Michael Arden and hailed as a New York Times Critics’ Pick. His Broadway credits include Hedwig and the Angry Inch, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, and American Buffalo. Whether you know him from television, Broadway, or his music, this performance offers fans a rare opportunity to hear the songs that defined Darren Criss’s career—live on stage in Peekskill at Paramount Hudson Valley.
