EW just unveiled a cute yet playfully contentious Skype date between Darren Criss and Aaron Tveit to promote their upcoming Elsie Fest in New York City. Click below to watch the pair argue over who people most want to see at the event with a "Take Me or Leave Me" face-off!

When they aren't crooning tunes from RENT or prepping for festivals, Criss and Tveit are doing what they do best -- acting up a storm. Criss just finished his run in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH on Broadway and Tveit is busy getting ready for FOX's GREASE LIVE!

Elsie Fest, New York City's first outdoor music festival celebrating tunes from the stage and screen, is set to launch on Sunday, September 27 (2-9PM) at JBL Live at Pier 97 (57th St and WestSide Highway in New York City). Performers will include Criss and Tveit, as well as Lea Salonga, Laura Osnes, Seth Rudetsky, Leslie Odom, Jr., and StarKid.

The acts will be performing songs from the musical properties you've grown to love them from, in addition to some of their favorite songs. A portion of the proceeds will benefit BROADWAY CARES: EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS. For more information, go to elsiefest.com.
