Even tho I’m late, I’m just gonna say it: He’s such a wholesome human being and he’s officially one of my most favourite actors 😳

[@anrina]

I love listening to him speak. It's so soothing.

[@milesaway6748]

I agree. Same with Jonathan Groff’s voice. Why do all the Broadway actors have such a soothing voice 😩

[@anrina]

@@milesaway6748 Agreed! Groff's voice is very soothing and soft. Both these guys are super nice in person, too (I did stage door and met them, guess that's over forever). Gavin is a great storyteller too. I was lucky enough to see him in concert where he told a bunch of personal stories, it was amazeballs. And was supposed to go to his show that was originally scheduled for June 2020 at the Met Museum :(. God, I miss Broadway! Seems like a lifetime ago.

[@milesaway6748]

@@anrina You got to meet them? I wish I could 🥺. I can only imagine how it’d be to see them both in person, I think I’d just lose my words, literally. But I also agree with you. I got into Broadway musicals pretty late but I’m so glad to have found all these amazingly talented individuals. I hope I can meet them someday and thank them for making my days. (Sorry for replying 4 years later btw 😅)

[@anrina]

@@milesaway6748 Haha! No worries! I love a good gush over shared love of beloved Broadway actors. Yes, I was lucky! My friend told me to stage door for Groff when he did a show on Off Broadway. He was also in Little Shop a few years later (amazing!) but did not stage door since I was sick (this was pre-COVID days...). I met Gavin when I didn't "know" who he was yet. I fell in love with his performance during Book of Mormon, then fell more in love at stage door because of how warm and sweet he was. It was his last BoM show on Broadway! Got lucky! Caught everything he did on Broadway since (She Loves Me, Hello Dolly).

[@milesaway6748]

@@anrina It’s good to hear that! I’ve always been trying to look for someone I could gush out about Broadway actors but I guess that it got harder to find people like those during these trying times. Really looking forward to meeting more people I could just talk to about these musicals someday. Anyways, I had a nice chat with you, so thanks a lot!

[@dianne03518]

the way he talks.... it's so chill...

[@Horsesarethebest888]

He's so charming, so glad he's back on Broadway.

[@doctorgirl37]

Not to get deep. "fixes bright purple wig*

[@wrengilbert5241]

I'm a show people regular watcher, and I can honestly say this is one of my new all time favorites. Gavin you're HI-Larious.

[@millie8943]

I LOVE YOU GAVIN CREEL. You are one of the most talented actor on Broadway!

[@charlotted1321]

he's so chill and sweet

[@brianna_clarkee]

So happy he won the tony!!! So deserved and so over-due for him to win ! :)

[@justinm2697]

WARNING! Make sure, if you're drinking anything at the 2 minute mark, make sure you've swallowed, or you will have a mess to clean up. LOL!

[@ammiepoag2435]

I absolutely adore Gavin. I've lost count of how many times I've seen him perform. And he's so sweet when he pretends to remember me every time I see him at the stage door :)

[@katelyn2306]

I just love Gavin Creel so much😂❤️❤️

[@sydneybreeding6593]

I love Gavin Creel I saw him in Toledo in BOM, amazing

[@HilaSketchCat]

best 22 minutes of my life

[@morrannells1774]

"i don't do that anymore, thanks to book of mormon" "it set you straight?" "well a litt--" _remembers how gay he is_ "no *scoffs* not completely"

[@Kignak24]

Gavin's eyes are perfect.

[@shiraw2617]

I just recently discovered Gavin Creel and i think he's amazingly talented. He also seems like such a genuinely lovely person. I hope one day to be able to see him in a production live. Until then i am enjoying seeing his archive of interviews and bits from live shows. Hair is one of my alltime fave shows (since i saw it in the 90s) and his Claude blew me away in all the clips I've seen. What a voice!

[@katiemcmillan3926]

Anyone else confused why there was all the sudden a crazy wig on his head.......?

[@tinselbmerryweather]

Katie Mcmillan WIGS... so confused

[@beggers5]

I did not know that Gavin Creel is a little odd! LOL

[@David-pt8ge]

I hope Gavin comes back to London at some point soon.

[@claudiafernandez2735]

I feel like this should be called "Gavin Creel of "The Book of Mormon" interviews Paul Wontorek" because Gavin took the lead in this

[@nlawrence321]

I love Gavin Creel.

[@cliffdotcomdotau]

I saw Gavin in The Book of Mormon on Broadway in May 2015, he really stood out and made the show, and he looked really hot as conservative Mormon kinda way!

[@UnboxingsHD95]

Saw him in Toronto Back In September! FANTASTIC Actor! Same Goes For Chris John O'Neil!

[@CB-zv9cl]

Cheeses christ this talented man is BEYOND adorable 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ahzzzy]

[@kayteejay122]
