Criss played Hedwig on Broadway in 2015.
According to a post on Stephen Trask's Instagram stories, Darren Criss will be joining the Hedwig and the Angry Inch 24th Anniversary Parking Lot tour on Sunday, November 13 at Vulture Festival in Los Angeles. The performance will take place at The Hollywood Roosevelt (7000 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90028). Tickets are available at the link below.
Criss played Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway in 2015 and headlined the national tour in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The event description states, "It's been more than two decades since Hedwig and the Angry Inch came into the world: a work that went on to become a Broadway show, a major motion picture, and a worldwide phenomenon. Now, composer Stephen Trask, musical director Justin Craig, and the great Lena Hall will join us for an evening of storytelling and song to celebrate Hedwig's 24th anniversary (which is cooler than a 25th anniversary because it's an even number, thank you). So pull your wig down from the shelf and get your tickets..."
