Darren Criss on Hedwig: She’s a ‘Wreck of a Mess of a Tragedy in a Horrible Sandwich’

Darren Criss is back on the Great White Way in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and the Glee favorite recently chatted with NBC New York to discuss his Broadway.com Audience Choice Award-winning turn in the heels, fishnets and—of course—glitter. “This is definitely on the top of the small list of dream roles,” he said of the East German transgender rock star. “This character is just a wreck of a mess of a tragedy in a horrible sandwich of everything else that’s bad.” We think he might be referring to his makeup skills, but we’re not sure. You can catch Criss at the Belasco Theatre, opposite Rebecca Naomi Jones, through July 19.
