MANILA, Philippines – Darren Criss and Aaron Tveit take it from the stage to Skype in a video posted by Entertainment Weekly on August 28, singing Rent‘s “Take Me or Leave Me.”
In the video, Darren, who was in Rome, and Aaron, from all the way in New York, argued over who people are more excited to see at this year’s Elsie Fest, a music festival for showtunes. They settled the score with a duet from the Broadway hit.
“Why do we have to do this everytime we talk, Tveit? You’re the one that started this, you know, I just wish –” said Darren before belting out the first line of the chorus.
Darren and Aaron are no strangers to musical theater. Darren most recently starred in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway, while Aaron has taken on roles in Rent productions in the past.
Both stars are also known for their work on TV though, with Darren on Glee and Aaron on Graceland. Aaron was also in the 2012 movie, Les Miserables.
The Elsie Fest is on its first year, and is the project of Darren, talent manager Ricky Rollins, and Broadway producer and Jujamcyn Theaters president Jordan Roth. Aside from Darren and Aaron, Broadway vet Lea Salonga and Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr will also be at the festival in September. (WATCH: Lea Salonga performs Disney, Broadway hits in master class)
