I love how Darren is so personable, he makes it seem like its not an interview and just a conversation between friends:) he is so perfect

the curtains are CLEARLY blue, i am not sure what the cute boy is talking about

"There's an immediacy that is just so intoxicating, that I would hate to say it was a one-night stand" - Darren Criss on live theater and Broadway. And this is why i adore the man.

This is a really good interview bc you can tell the interviewer is honestly interested in what Darren has to say and he's letting him just say all he has to say I'm in love

I love how Darren's so excited that the interviewer's done his homework, normally he has to slow it down a little and act all adorably humble and explain the StarKid thing. But here he gets to run wild and its so refreshing to see him in his element talking about the things he loves

I love that Wontorek does his research. He knows his interviewees and makes these videos about them, while still being funny and charming in and of himself, and keeping things light and happy with the actor. Love him.

I was like "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?" Oh Darren it means that your totally awesomeness is confirmed..

"The kids these days" you are 25, darren

Goodness he is beautiful.

I love how modest he is. With all the talent stuffed into that boy, there should never have been any doubt that he'd make it to Broadway.

I love how Darren seems to be following Daniel in his roles!

I love him so much it's not even funny. He's my biggest "celebrity" crush yet he's one of my idols. Gah, i live every bit of him

I saw him putting back the pieces together of the shaver lol ninja darren

Bloody hell! It's Harry Potter!

Darren isn't the only one who REALLY wants to see his old shows!! I am dying to see at least one of them!!!

Darren was so happy that Paul knew so much about him. It's like when Chris knew about AVPM before he met Darren, and it made Darren feel so good. All it takes is to look on Wikipedia! I'm sure Darren is tired of hearing the same questions in every interview, and now we finally got to learn new things about Darren. This really was one of the best interviews of Darren ever. And to top it off, it was 22 minutes long!

The shaver story never fails to make me laugh! xD

Darren is an amazing person. I can't wait to see him in more broadway shows as he grows. He's such a remarkable person and I would love to meet him one day.

I love this interview. Fantastic interviewer. The first really professional one I've really seen. Darren is so excited he did his research, lol. It's really refreshing. Thanks, Paul!

I love this interview as it cover a whole lot of things. Plus the fact that it's not rush that questions are just asked randomly without any hint of research. You'll sense that Paul Wontorek 'knows' Darren.

ugh stop being such a perfect human being.

Darren, you are the most perfect human in the whole entire universe

Fantastic interview! Great chemistry, great questions. It's the most comfortable I've seen Darren in an interview where he can just go on about what he's passionate about.

i love him more and more every single time i watch a new interview with him.

Great interview. Smart fella.

I saw Darren in "How To Succeed" on Tuesday, how incredibly talented and charasmatic is he!

Paul Wontorek, this is the best interview of Darren I've ever seen. For the first time, someone had really done their research, not just gobble on and on about what he does on Glee. Usually, if any nugget of his past is mentioned, its just AVPM (not that there is a problem there.) But you could see how genuinely happy Darren was that he could speak of what he was most passionate about, and talk about all the things he has never done in interviews. Wow, I love this.

I saw his closing night and when he was singing "I Believe in You" I was thinking: "Don't drop the razor, don't drop the razor, don't drop the razor!"

"A golden castle made of marshmallows" SOMEONE GO BY ME THE LARGEST BAG OF MARSHMALLOWS AND GOLD FOOD DYE STAT

I love Darren Criss fans, there are never any negative comments it makes me smile to know not everyone who posts comments has to be mean

This is the best interview I've watched of Darren, and I've watched A LOT. He's as funny and adorable as always and the questions are great.

Love love love love you Darren!!!! You're the best

Why are you so perfect?? Smart... talented... funny... awesome. .. hot... what else?

"I- uh- *starts stuttering* ... DAMMIT!" I love this crazy man.

This is a really amazing interview. The interviewer actually did research and you can tell it makes the whole process a lot more interesting and fun for both sides. I like how in-depth this was compared to the teen magazine interviewers who always ask the same questions.

10 dislikes? Thanks Hermione.

This interview is fantastic. Finally, someone knows their Darren!

14:47 the way he says 'bones'...*melts!*

loooove that play and him.

He just so perfect in every single way

Amazing interview. So great to get to see Darren speak intelligently about theater and things he's passionate about. Thanks Paul.

Golden globe nominee now👍🏆, so talented 💞

He's SO cute and adorable!

Best interviewer ever, seriously, and I know I'm not the first person to say this. No one does it like Paul Wontorek.

Darren criss is such a fascinating person, not to say other people aren't that's not what I'm saying. But in his interviews he doesn't act all high and mighty and like he's perfect, cause no one is on this earth but he doesn't put on an act like, oh I'm better then you guys cause I get to be in plays and shows I sing and write songs. No he's just very humble and he seems greatful for the opportunities he gets. But it's funny cause Darren criss is showy but he always let's other people know he doesn't think he's above it all. And I know this interview was a long time ago but what a great interview, and the interviewer was great he did a fantastic job.

Awesome interview! I can't wait to see Darren on Broadway!! I'm flying all the way from New Zealand to see him on stage :D

There is no better interviewer than one who really knows the person he is interviewing, who has really done his research, this is the best interview I have ever seen, really great :)

This interview is great

I love his story about the electric shaver! SO Adorable!

BLESS YOU, PAUL WONTOREK

This video just made my whole day. I feel so inspired, like I always am with him. I can't wait to see him perform tomorrow night! (:

I love that he actually understand what it is to be an actor on broadway, his responsibilities and that he loves it....he's so knowledgeable about it...i love it!

Don't forget his dad's eyes, eyebrows, and of COURSE his dad's smile. Darren's the spitting image of his dad, with his mom's hair thrown in. :-)

He is so smart!

Harry Freakin Potter :)

This was an amazing interview, as everyone seems to be commenting. Thank you so much for not editing stuff out and for actually researching before hand. I started crying when he talked about the passion of high school theatre, since I can definitely relate to that. Everything he said was just so humble and sweet and truthful and gah. He's really such a good person to look up to. So proud of him. :)

This is truly the best interview I've seen with Darren Criss in the 15 months I've been following his career. Thank you so much, Broadway.com, for giving Darren's fans this wonderful gift. It's just so wonderful to get an interview that focuses on the things that really matter (his work, his background, his ideas and thoughts about art and theater and life). It's also wonderful to have him be interviewed by Paul, who knows his stuff. Simply great. Thank you.

I love that he knows his limitations. He is so not full of himself like people think. He seems like a great person all around.

This is such a fantastic interview. Darren is astounding, and it's all Mr. Wontorek's doing, bringing all that out of him. Thank you so much!

Excellent interview, thank you Broadway.com. You didn't forget to be awesome :D

Why am I allways finding stuff like this in the midle of the night? :P

Darren... he's so incredible... words can't describe... seriously, it's absolutely mind-blowing! I love him so much... I can't even explain in coherent words!! EVERYONE should be more like Darren in this world! X

I love how Darren's rants can go for so long, that by the time he's done talking I've forgotten what the interviewer initially asked.

Fantastic and prepared journalist that gave us the best Darren interview ever! My eternal thanks to him!

This is soooooooooo weird!!!! I have been doing theater since 6th grade and I literally can relate to EVERYTHING HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!!! Theater is a FAMILY and it is one of the closest families I have ever had!!!!! I absolutely love it and love to meet someone who can actually relate to it!!!!! I really wish I could meet him!!!!! Love you Darren!!!!

An interviewer who does his research. Bless him.

This interview was so awesome.

Trust Darren to open an interview with comments about the curtains draping the background. But yup, kudos to a wonderful interviewer who really really knows his stuff! This was a superbly refreshing interview to watch cause it's just so heavy on other content besides Glee so, yup, awesome.

omg this makes me sooooo happy

Possibly the greatest 22 minutes of my life were spent watching this video. Darren is so incredibly humbling! "Why do you know all this about my life?!" "It's on your Wikipedia, it's not that hard to find out." "All this stuff is on my Wikipedia? Wow!" - not looking himself up on the internet is just one example of how he is so modest.

@05:43 THE SOUND HE DOES WITH HIS MOUTH!! Can i die now?

between him and his brother honestly how can one family be so perfect

Finally a very serious interview about Darren Criss the actor and performer. Seems most of the interviews I've heard were more about the 'interviewer' cashing in to Darren's well deserved fame. Paul did his homework and gave Darren the chance to open up and talk out his passion. Well done to Broadway.com and a super thank you and well done to Darren.

'and I want a golden castle made of marshmallows' AHAHAHAHA I love him :)

Guys, this is seriously the best interview ever. So many interesting stuff here. Paul Wontorek, god bless you.

Jeez...he is such an actor! He really knows what he is talking about! Thank God!!! Gives me hope for the future.

I saw him too! It's been 4 months and it still hasn't fully sunk in. The fact that he was there about 30 feet in front of me (i was sitting in the 3rd row) and he did suuuuch a good job.... He should just do Broadway for the rest of his life (after glee)

Oh my....he is beyond perfect

i could not stop smiling the entire time i was watching this. i love his glasses too!

I love such interviews :)

fantastic interview!!

This was amazing. Its sad but i have never seen Darren in a grown up interview. And im glad they did their homework.

awk god love him he seems so grateful to go into an interview where the interviewer has done his homework and actually knows stuff bout him so hes not havin to repeat things

Woah I'm watching this now and when he said "I'd never do Oklahoma" I had a flash of him as curly in the Oklaheauxma revival. He'd be perfect for Damon's portrayal.

Did anyone else burst into tears after the scene at 0.11? No? Just me? Okay.

I love him soooooo much!

What Darren's saying is like my life story. I had to sing happy to keep his dinner warm for an audition for my theatre class and i regularly see shows at the A.C.T. in SF. uuummmm.

Darren I love you and this is the best interview I have ever seen I'm so inspired by him

the best interview of Darren =)

a darren performance wouldnt be complete without a flub lol my new fave darren interview, hes just so amazing in every way and he makes me soo happy

All hail this interview.

Those 22 minutes passed WAY too quickly! Amazing interview:)

I love Darren criss sooooooooooo much,

he is just. wow. wow. wow.

He is adorable!

Sometimes I find his perfection overwhelming.

yes!

"I go to the gym everyday just to buy gatorade." really? cuz your perfect body says otherwise

This was exciting, but now I'm hoping for a Side By Side with Susan Blackwell showcasing Darren Criss!

3:20 is the best noise i ever herd come out of darrens mouth ;)
