My Take

Every time I see Gavin Creel's name I feel the loss of a light gone out on Broadway too soon. From Findlay, Ohio and the University of Michigan, he climbed to the very top of musical theater, gathering a Grammy, a Tony, two Drama Desk Awards and an Olivier along the way, the kind of haul that marks the genuine article. Stage work is a fragile, one-night-only magic that film can never quite capture, which is why I hold theater performers in such high regard. He died at 48 in 2024, far too early, but his voice lives on in recordings and memory, and that endures.
