Tribute to Gavin Creel

Following Gavin Creel’s passing in September, the Society of London Theatre are proud to be livestreaming Broadway’s memorial for Gavin via their Official London Theatre YouTube channel. The memorial for the theatre star will take place at Broadway’s St. James Theatre on Monday 2 December, and will be aired directly to YouTube live from 9pm (GMT) so those around the world can celebrate his life.  

The following evening, the West End theatres where Gavin performed – the Prince of Wales Theatre, Prince Edward Theatre, Gielgud Theatre, and Adelphi Theatre – will join together with Broadway to dim their lights for two minutes at 7pm on Tuesday 3 December in his memory.

Creel won the 2014 Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in the West End debut of The Book Of Mormon at the Prince of Wales. He also starred in the West End as Bert in Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward in 2006; as Claude Hooper Bukowski in Hair at the Gielgud in 2010; and as Dr. Jim Pomatter in Waitress at the Adelphi in 2020.
