ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Lea Michele is best known for her performance

as “Rachel Berry” on the critically acclaimed,

Golden Globe, Grammy, and SAG award-

winning Fox television series Glee. She has been

nominated for an Emmy, a SAG Award, and

multiple Golden Globes. The Glee cast recordings

have sold over 10 million singles and garnered

over 20 top 40 US Billboard Hot 100 hits. Lea

released her debut album Louder in March of

2014, marking her step into her career as a solo

artist with an incredible vocally-driven record.

The album debuted at No. 1 on iTunes and in the

Top 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.

That same year, Lea added best-selling author

to her resume when she released her fi rst book,

Brunette Ambition, which was a New York Times

best-seller. She released her second book, You

First, the following year. In 2017 she released

her sophomore album Places and embarked on

a series of sold-out shows in North America in

support of the album.

Darren Criss is a multi-faceted artist with an

illustrious career spanning television, fi lm,

music and stage. He recently won a Primetime

Emmy Award for his portrayal of Andrew

Cunanan in the second installment of Ryan

Murphy’s award-winning series American Crime

Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace. His

performance has been dubbed as “electrifying,”

“chilling,” “compelling,” “magnetic and

frightening,” and “career-changing,” and has

received accolade recognition with nods from

the Television Critics Association Awards,

MTV Movie & TV Awards and People’s Choice

Awards. In the fall of 2016, Criss returned to

Broadway in his critically acclaimed performance

as Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which

kicked off the 2014 Tony Award-winning Best

Musical Revival’s national tour. The New York

Times touted Criss as “mesmerizing” when he

fi rst stepped into the title role on Broadway in

2015. Best known for playing Blaine Anderson

on FOX’s global phenomenon Glee, he received

an Emmy Award nomination in 2015 for best
