Darren Criss brings his tour to the Paramount Hudson Valley in Peekskill in May 2026. The Emmy-winning actor-musician — best known for Glee and his acclaimed run in The Assassination of Gianni Versace — has been building a serious touring profile as a live performer, and the Paramount is a well-suited room for his theatrical, charismatic stage presence.
About Darren Criss
Darren Criss launched to national attention through Glee but had been performing original music and writing theatrical work long before that — his internet musical A Very Potter Musical built a devoted online following in the late 2000s. His music career has expanded significantly since then: his 2019 EP Homework and subsequent releases lean into sophisticated pop-rock with a theatrical flair. Live, he performs with energy and precision, leveraging his acting instincts to create shows that feel more like productions than standard concerts. Expect a crowd that skews enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
Venue Info
The Paramount Hudson Valley at 1008 Brown Street in Peekskill seats roughly 1,700 in a restored theater setting. The intimate scale suits Criss’s performance style well — this isn’t a venue where he’ll be lost in a large hall. Downtown Peekskill has ample pre-show dining. See the Paramount Hudson Valley venue page for details.
