Backstage & Onstage With Darren Criss At Roseland

Popular rising stage and screen star Darren Criss has been touring the country in a string of solo dates so far this summer and he takes fans behind the scenes in a new look at a recent show held at New York City's Roseland Ballroom on June 10 - a special show which featured some particularly friendly faces, too.

Donning his trademark sneakers and rocking his classic curls, Criss wows Roseland in the intriguingly-lensed shots depicting the charismatic star both onstage and off participating in the APOCALYPTOUR alongside frequent collaborators Team StarKid, enticing crowds all the while.

Also, Criss takes to ROLLING STONE to pen some witty and winning comments on an eye-grabbing series of candid images, such as the following remark on the marquee of the venue itself proclaiming "Darren Criss SOLD OUT": "As cool as this was, the sign cracked me up because it kinda looked like somebody was trolling the Roseland marquis - 'YO EVERYONE, Darren Criss SOLD OUT! He used to be cool, but man, I don't know anymore...'."

Check out the original article on the matter, including all of Criss's caustic and compelling commentary, here.
