Darren Criss is fully in his element on Quibi’s Royalties, and not just because the 10-episode comedy finds him playing a Hollywood songwriter surrounded by Glee alumni.
The experience of co-writing and producing a musical project for a fledgling streaming service took Criss back to his days at the University of Michigan, where his mantra became “chaos is the mother of invention.” As he tells TVLine, “During the process, we made no claims to it working. We just had to slap it all together, and I think it turned out pretty great. That’s the fun of your friends...

When Darren Criss was filming “Hollywood,” he was also shooting his Quibi series “Royalties” and traveling to Las Vegas for a series of concerts he was headlining with Steve Aoki.
“There was, like, a Sprinter van with an editing bay in it that would come to set on ‘Hollywood,’ to where I’d be shooting a scene on ‘Hollywood,’ and then I would go edit music videos in the van for like 20 minutes on my break and then go back to shooting ‘Hollywood,’” Criss, 33, says on Wednesday’s episode of the Variety and iHeart podcast “The Big Ticket” from his home in Los Angeles. “I would be clean-shaven on ‘Hollywood,’ then I would go to the ‘Royalties’ set with a fake beard to match my beard. Then I’m flying to Vegas…to do these shows with Steve Aoki. It was just insane. Again, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

In the beginning, God and Darren Criss created Harry Potter: The Musical, a madcap Harry Potter parody originally performed at the University of Michigan in 2009. The musical, cowritten by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden and produced by StarKid Productions, arrived on YouTube that summer and quickly went viral, inspiring a 2010 sequel that helped to launch Criss into mainstream stardom. (Its popularity also inspired a name change meant to stave off the litigious Warner Bros; that’s why you now know the show as A Very Potter Musical.)

While fully aware my next statement will enrage the cult of Nolan fandom, here it is: I prefer Michael Keaton-era Batman. I like a Batman who is aware of how absurd it is to dress as a giant bat while fighting crime vigilante-style, and has a sense of humor about it. And from the looks of Team Starkid's new musical, it seems I'm not alone. Team Starkid is a enthusiastic ensemble of writers, directors, actors, designers, and other artists, who express their love of pop culture, fantasy, and sci-fi through incredibly ambitious works of theatrical parody productions, like A Very Potter Musical and their latest Holy Musical B@man! Inspired by the more cartoonish elements of the Batman legacy, writers/directors Matt Lang and Nick Lang offer a full-length song-studded adventure about the caped crusader that boasts appearances from such classic Batman pun-loving villains as Catwoman, The Riddler, The Penguin,...
