Tony Award-nominee Darren Criss has extended his run as “Oliver” in the hit Broadway musical, “Maybe Happy Ending,” through Sunday, August 31. Criss is also a producer of the show at the Belasco Theatre, which is nominated for a total of 10 Tony Awards.
“When I first hit the road with “Maybe Happy Ending,” the only certainty was the shared passion everyone brought to it, “said Criss. It was a profoundly beautiful adventure I jumped into because I was madly in love with the piece and all the little robots involved. I didn’t know how far it would go; I just hoped it could be shared, for as long and with as many people as possible.”

Additionally, the Original Broadway Cast Recording of the show, produced by Ghostlight Records, is now out on CD. The vinyl edition, which is due on Friday, June 13, is currently available for pre-order.
Criss will also be hosting the Tony Awards pre-show, alongside Renee Elise Goldberry, on Pluto TV, beginning on Sunday, June 8. Lastly, Criss – who shot to fame as Blaine on the hit TV series “Glee” -- will present a solo concert at the 92NY on Monday, June 16.
