Like many my age I adored Gavin Creel before I ever knew he was Gavin Creel—when he was the sweet, charming Bill in Eloise. What a joy it was to come to adore him all over again as a Broadway star…truly one of our time’s greatest. He is & always will be so loved, & so missed.
There are so many clips and snippets and recording that demonstrate how talented and charming he was but this specific clip from Eloise at Christmastime— silly though it may be— captures the exact moment I fell in love with Gavin Creel
My introduction to Gavin Creel was when I was a kid and watched Eloise at Christmastime. It’s still one of my favorites to this day. This scene of him singing Together, Wherever We Go from Gypsy always lives in my heart as one of my earliest theatre influences. Love him so much.
