Sometime trying hard actually pays off -- just ask Darren Criss. The 'Glee' star's run in the Broadway hit 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' gave the show some of its best box office earnings since the musical's debut almost a year ago.

Yesterday (Jan. 22), Criss finished his three-week run as the show's lead J. Pierrepont Finch, and it looks like his little break from filming 'Glee' was certainly worthwhile! During the time that Darren graced the Broadway stage, the production earned over $4 million in just three weeks.

Those are some seriously big shoes to fill for Darren's heir to the J. Pierrepont Finch throne, Mr. Nick Jonas. The youngest JoBro will take over the role starting tomorrow (Jan. 24). Criss' box office prowess is even more impressive considering his predecessor in the role was 'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe.
