We are so saddened to learn of the passing of one of our favorite performers, and one of the greatest people in the theatre community, Gavin Creel. From Hair, to Hello, Dolly, to Into the Woods and more, we always lit up when we had a chance to take in the genius that was this artist. Even more heartbreaking is the young age at which this soul was taken from us. We send our thoughts, love and comfort to his family and friends during this difficult time. He touched so many people and had such a lasting effect on people, and his absence will be deeply felt. We feel honored to have had the chance to see this incredible performer when we could. Rest In Power.
