Gavin Creel.
What a beautiful soul what a fine person ,, a great performer and voiceRIP.
He was a bright light and his passing, at 48, is unfathomable.
Theres not a person who crossed his path who wont beam with joy just talking about him.
The world is a much darker place without him.
I am gutted and Ill miss him forever.
An unspeakable loss for Broadway.
My heart goes out to his loved ones.
Gavin was my first role model, idol and hero,Ben Plattwrote in his Instagram Stories.
He showed me around backstage after I saw my first Broadway show.
I couldnt believe someone that supernaturally talented could also be every single person in the buildings favorite human being.
I wanted to sing just like him and be just like him.
