Opening Night of “How to Succeed” starring Darren Criss – A Fan’s Perspective

by Keith Hawk · Published January 5, 2012 · Updated January 19, 2017

On Tuesday night, Darren Criss performed the lead role as J. Pierrepont Finch for the Broadway musical hit How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Darren has come such a long way in the past year. Originally known throughout the fandom as Harry Potter himself with the online musical sensation A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel, Darren was then cast on the hit show ‘Glee’ as the Potter fandom helped propel his career to stardom.

Now, he makes his Broadway debut on a cold night in New York City. One of the fans attending the event sent in her personal perspective of the day; from acquiring tickets, watching the show, and getting an autograph from Darren after the show.

MuggleNet fan Jessica Klein, from the New York City Harry Potter meetup group, The Group That Shall Not Be Named (TGTSNBN), and chaser/seeker for the NY Badassilisks muggle quidditch team, shares her story, which can be read in full right here.

Thanks Jessica for the great story!
