Author KittyKitty, October 1st, 2024

The Tony, Grammy, and Olivier winner passes away aged 48 after a short battle with cancer.

The theatre world mourns one of its brightest stars today after the shocking news of Tony, Grammy, and Olivier winner Gavin Creel's passing aged 48 after a short battle with a rare cancer. A regular face on Broadway and in the West End, Creel was a rare talent that dazzled everyone lucky enough to see him in person and in recordings.

We wish to add our condolences following this sad news, which has been felt across the country and the wider world today. 

Tributes have been pouring in from Gavin's peers and colleagues, displaying an enormous amount of love and emotion following the announcement. Some are quoted below.

Aaron Tviet

Lin Manuel Miranda


Sutton Foster

We'll leave you today with this moment from Gavin's iconic Miscast performance with Aaron Tveit back in 2016. A video that gets regular rotation in the office, we hope like us, it brings you some joy as we process this loss.
