'Glee's' Darren Criss is set to replace Daniel Radcliffe in the Broadway musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
On Wednesday, producers released a new poster for the play featuring Criss sporting a light gray suit and purple bow tie.
Criss, who is best known for playing out-and-proud Blaine Anderson on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, will play corporate ladder-climbing J. Pierrepont Finch during a three-week stint after Radcliffe exits the role in January. The production also stars Tony-winner John Laroquette in the role of J.B. Biggley and Tammy Blanchard as Hedy La Rue.
Criss is expected to miss an episode and a half of season three of Glee to make his Broadway debut.
The 24-year-old Criss was recently named one of the sexiest men of the year by PEOPLE magazine.
Before Glee success, Criss garnered attention starring in the Harry Potter parody A Very Potter Musical, which he co-wrote while attending the University of Michigan in 2009. So, following in Radcliffe's footsteps is becoming a bit of a habit for Criss.
