LA Times writes:
Darren Criss, who plays the character Blaine Anderson on Fox's "Glee," will make his Broadway debut in January after Daniel Radcliffe leaves the Broadway revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."
Organizers confirmed Monday the rumors that Criss will take the lead role of J. Pierrepont Finch in the musical, playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Radcliffe is scheduled to leave the show Jan. 1, and Criss will step in for three weeks from Jan. 3 to 22. It's unclear if the musical will continue beyond that date, though at least one report indicates that the producers want it to.

Glee, Broadway and now a movie? Darren Criss has come a long way since youtube ;) and I am thrilled! He is so talented and sexy... I can't get enough of him!
Darren Criss will co-star opposite Kristen Wiig in the comedy Imogen, which is shooting later this summer. He will play her potential lover! Bow chicka wow wow!
Kristen Wiig is a playwright who fakes a suicide to win back her ex-boyfriend and then must go back home to New Jersey to live with her mother (Annette Beninh who will "chanel her inner snooki". Darren Criss will play a new (and younger) love interest, and hopefully the sparks will fly.
