+Boris Epshtein haha, this performance was mostly kind of a joke. this was part of an event where he talked a lot about his acting career from the very beginning. he played tevye in high school. it was just for fun :)
This is the best way to destroy a classic, terrible. This is not a christmas theme, not a ballad, it is a song made to sing with humor, character and eloquence.
This isn’t a serious performance. He played Tevye in high school, so he’s singing this song again for fun. It doesn’t have to be like it is when it’s part of the entire show.
WOW! He such an entertainer! You can see how much he enjoys what he's doing. Truly he choose the correct line of work. Bravo Darren.
the fact that with everything he does he gives his all its awesome
Amazing performance. He captures the character and the performance perfectly without any costume or set. Astounding.
He gets so into it and I love it
His talent never ceases to amaze me!
I LOVE HIM FOR DOING THIS OMFG FIDDLER IS MY FAVORITE
WOW! just WOW! 👏👏👏👏
i just can't stop watching this :') this is hilarious
Hahaha I love how he does the shaking thingy like in the musical
Wow: applause!!! Loved it. Thank You!
this is a sexual experience in the weirdest, cutest, funniest way possible
those squaks literally made me jump an inch or so in my chair, and his expressions are just something else 😂😂😂😂😂
He legit can play anyone
This is so lovely. Hilarious, but poignant moments here and there too.
the Russian accent sort of morphed into the German/British accent he did for hedwig
I'm pretty sure he was doing a Yiddish accent, cause that's what most Jews spoke in their own communities.
Don't quote me on that though. Not sure.
fanimie I’m pretty sure you’re right
Love this song so much, but it's the little dance for me!!
Love that! Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Nice work Darren :)
I simply love it!
This was amazing
OMG Army!
OMG THIS IS FREAKING GREAT 😭💕
Darren , do Broadway again. “Fiddler”, I’m done - omg - so talented, great performance, got accent down too. @DarrenCriss
this is what i bet he's like drunk
there are plenty videos of him performing while drunk lol it's even better
omg no i need to see them
+Julia S I don't know how to link it but search (in TH-cam) "Darren Criss Lea Salonga A Whole New World Marie Crisis"
Julia S this is what all theatre kids are like drunk...
Elegance...
also he slipped ino hedwig so quick i dont think he even knew it
This when from Russian to Hedwig real quick
Mind.Totally.Freakin.Blown. (That is all.)
Love that he threw the Russian on.
10 dislikes? thanks hermione..
Sweetie, that is BAD singing. He does not hold long notes, can't hit high, too. Reevaluate your choices ))
Gosh. Are you people deaf? He misses some notes and his movements are very imprecise.

It is also his characterization choices. It is ok to not hit everything perfect to show character development or style.

Its almost as if he's doing it for fun and not every performance has to be some serious thing that has to be picked apart
This is pretty terrible
It’s just fun let people have fun
