DARREN CRISS, heartthrob of TV's "Glee," got a big laugh the other night during a performance at NYC's nightclub/eatery The Darby. Criss, who has replaced Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway, said: "It's funny that I'm in a show called 'How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying,' because I'm really trying!" (Apparently, his efforts are paying off. His appearance has "re-ignited" the box office at the Hirschfeld Theatre.)

Darren's gig at The Darby was a one-night-only special event, sort of "introducing" him to New York. He sang, played piano and guitar, melding smoothly with the club's marvelous five-piece band.

To the point of succeeding in show biz -- or any biz! -- Darren opened with "I Want More" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid." (Susan Sarandon, who was in the audience, explained the song to her good friend Jonathan Bricklin: "It's about shopping, dear.")

Criss' entire set was enthusiastically applauded, but his slow, sexy "My Funny Valentine" had fans comparing his tempo and phrasing to Streisand and Sinatra. (Perhaps Darren was channeling Frankie? He performed with a glass of Johnny Walker Black on the side; his suave sipping at odds with his adorable baby face.)

When somebody called out wanting to know about Criss' trademark eyeglasses, he took them off and then squinted painfully at the frames. Finally, he exclaimed, "I can't read who made them without my glasses!" With help, it was discovered they were Dolce and Gabanna. Darren looked mighty relieved to get them back on, the better to see his ecstatic audience again.

Among the throng of fans were Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, William Ivey Long, Mo Rocca and Alan Rickman.

Now, as Liza Minnelli sings: "It's up to you, New York, New Yawwwwwwwwwwk!"
