"He’s been on “Glee” for three seasons and on Broadway for three weeks (in “How to Succeed in Business…”). Now Darren Criss is working on his first full-length album. But first comes the solo tour — it’s sold out, naturally, and he has wowed fans at such hallowed spots as the Fillmore in San Francisco and the House of Blues in Hollywood. Criss specializes in melodic piano pop that showcases his sweet tenor and romantic nature. His songs are made for Top 40 radio. (6:30 p.m. Mon., Varsity Theater, sold out.)" — Big Gigs for June 7-13: Darren Criss, Dead Milkmen, more. (StarTribune . c o m)
