Darren Criss - Live With Kelly (Fans)
Sophomore + Darren Criss = Gleeful
Christmas morning, sophomore Tessa Smith was opening gifts with her family. She unwrapped a gift from her father, Mr. Robert Smith, and found a framed certificate; she then “promptly started crying.” Her younger cousins asked if she was okay and Tessa said, “I am just happy, you guys.” In red lettering, the certificate declared she would be able to “meet Darren Criss after [seeing] him in a performance of ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’.”
Robert bid on the experience online at charitybuzz.com. Charitybuzz is a website where people can win meetings with celebrities, get VIP access to sporting events, designer merchandise and more; the proceeds go to a variety causes. This particular auction supports Communities in Schools, an organization that “surrounds students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.”
Jan. 14 Robert, Tessa, Tessa’s brother Sam, and Robert’s girlfriend Ms. Donna Southwick flew to New York City and saw “How to Succeed.” After touring the musical’s set and the Al Hirschfeld Theatre ‘s backstage, the Smiths and Southwick met with Glee, Team Starkid (creators of productions on Youtube such as “A Very Potter Musical”), and “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” star Darren Criss for a few minutes.
Okay so when I went to H2$, I got the chance to talk to Mama and Papa Criss during intermission. Well they were the sweetest, most adorable people ever but I can’t even get into that right now. (SORRY STILL FLAILING) Anyway, I’ve been carrying around this picture of Darren and I from Glee Live to every Starkid event or anywhere where I could possibly show it to him/get his autograph. So when I was talking to Mama Criss, I just wanted to show her, like I didn’t even ask for anything and she just goes Oh what’s your address? And I was like What? And she casually just says she’ll ask Darren to sign it and send it back to me. I thanked her a million times and gave her my address and I don’t know but I didn’t know if I’d actually get (Like if she forgot or they lost it). BUT OH MY GOD I GOT THIS IN THE MAIL TODAY. AND I’M DYING. THIS FAMILY IS TOO MUCH. Forever grateful to Mama Criss. And Darren’s autograph. asijdaiojdoiajdoiad
