Gavin Creel, MAMMA MIA! Medley - MCC MISCAST24

[@early.morning.illustration7306]

It’s almost like he was trying to combine everything he loved about performing, as if he knew there might not be another performance. He interacted with the audience, mentioned hair, encouraged the singers, and gathered everyone to dance together. This performance almost reads as a goodbye. Rest in peace Gavin Creel 💚

[@picardythirds]

😭

[@bernardfarquharson3275]

Well he was diagnosed after this performance. That’s what’s so scary, this happened so fast…

[@elisa_lily]

Unfortunately the kind of damn cancer he had is unbelievably aggressive,fast and almost always diagnosed too late. This is also what's been driving me crazythis past week,not only gone too soon,but he had to face all that,that beautiful soul

[@bernardfarquharson3275]

@@elisa_lily exactly. The saddest thing about this video to me is not that it sounds like he’s saying goodbye. It’s that he didn’t know he was dying when he sang this.

[@elisa_lily]

@@bernardfarquharson3275 l know....think that at least he got to perform one last time at Miscast,that we all know he loved,in a beautiful joyful way. What a gem he was! Take care

[@elisa_lily]

You know when people say that Freddie Mercury at Live Aid is the best example in rock concerts of how to reach everyone in the audience,make them feel completely involved? I think Gavin here is the equivalent for a performance in a theatre (obviously not talking about entire shows,but as a quality in an actor/singer) Pure joy...and of course talent,kindness,fun. Wnat a gem 💐❤️

Helplessly laughing at "I was in Hair, MOVE!"

This performance exudes joy. It's so healing to see him having the time of his life here. He was so so loved

[@tpquinn72]

Spreading joy as usual. You will forever be missed, Gavin Creel. 💔

[@reallyquiterandom]

Oh Gavin, there'll never be another like you. Rest in peace.

[@themripley]

Light is the word that springs to mind for Gavin. He was a light in Eloise, a light on the stage and by all accounts a light to everyone who met him. What a legacy, I'm just so sorry he left it so soon. ❤

[@PeytonBliley]

Oh Gavin, you absolute ray of sunshine, your spirit and your talent will be missed. Thank you for uploading this when you did, MCC

[@anabritelora]

I never knew Mamma Mia could make me so emotional. It’s been a week but I still can’t stop crying. Thank you for posting.

[@courtneybullen2012]

Hearing his name and/or one of his songs is still causing me to weep almost instantly.

[@BoyJazz]

Never knew there could be so much talent in one man , still can't believe you are gone Gavin .

[@MsADiez]

His joy is palpable. Wow, what a gift he was to the world ❤

[@olivinebranch]

Yes, I've been broken hearted... Blue since the day we parted... My, my, we will never let you go.

[@stephenholmes5362]

Was absolutely blown away to read of his passing. So much talent in every part of his being! The angels up in heaven are getting the show of a life time from Gavin. Rest in peace sweet man!!

[@anonymoususer12345-o]

Devastating news. Such a beautiful voice and an incredibly amazing performer. So talented and so entertaining. Cannot believe he is gone. What a massive loss. May his family, friends and fans be supported, and his legacy be remembered.

[@Charlotte-lq1or]

His voice always had such a wonderful, emotional quality. You feel every word - joy and sadness. A true legend. We'll never forget him.

[@tammybabich]

been rewatching this video nonstop since it was posted. still haven't been able to watch it without the water works immediately starting, but at least i find new reasons to smile each time. from gavin's "i was in hair, move!", to the giggle as he jumps on the stairs, to him pulling up the other singers to make sure they were all center stage with him. what a special performer and person. thank you gavin for inspiring us in so many beautiful ways. we'll miss you 🤍

[@2034916]

What an incredible voice and presence he had. His death is heartbreaking.

[@TheTheUltimatePrize]

Still can’t hold back tears. Never got the chance to meet him but his art touched me so deeply. Rest in peace Gavin we will miss you ❤

[@anukoponen2015]

Oh, this is from April 😢 Thank you for posting! What a loss, darling luminous Gavin ❤️💔

[@henryriley4958]

Yeh it’s crazy that just 6 months ago, you have Gavin here looking absolutely all well and joyous Crazy to think that we would lose him 6 months later 💔

[@MsADiez]

@@henryriley4958unfathomable 💔

[@ragtmt15]

Why am I in tears of joy for the love he brought!! Damn it it’s not fair 🥹💔

[@arcivist]

I saw Gavin in Into the Woods a couple years ago and I instantly fell in love with him. He was such a huge inspiration to me and so many others. I also just saw Mamma Mia for the first time over the summer, and I became obsessed with it- I’m performing The Winner Takes It All at an event at the community theater I’m a part of this weekend. I had no clue that this crossover had happened, but it’s bringing me so much light in the news of Gavin’s passing. He truly was the greatest

[@hoping4nash]

Oh man. That was mere months ago. I paid to watch the full recorded version, and there was just so much joy. I still can’t believe it.

[@adamschuler9423]

What an absolute star! He radiates.

[@daniellebelisle2446]

Nothing makes me more emotional than when someone brings an abundance of love and joy into the world. It is only more healing and heartbreaking knowing he is no longer here, though I am grateful he was here, and that we will have this ❤️

[@Arthurpyms]

Very beautifully said.

[@dgalbraith7467]

I'm laughing through my tears right now. I adored Gavin. Thank you so much for sharing this!

The first tone of his voice already made me cry.

And omg JINKX dancing around in red like a shy belle of the ball. What a room packed of talent,

[@aces0730]

Rest in peace Gavin. I was so amazed when you played Claude in Hair. I’m so glad I went.

[@UnaOwens-g1q]

I badly want to believe, against all evidence, that someone sent out the gentleman in the black beret (3:20) once Gavin started climbing on things to make sure he made it to stage in one piece 😊. Rest in art, you rambunctious angel!

[@KiSeaKatikka]

First time in a long time I watched a video all the way through, no distractions, worth it.

[@dalemelancon7597]

So full of joy and life.

Looking back on his website, he did a couple of cabaret performances in May out of state, but this was his last NYC appearance 😢

Any chance “Walk on Through” will be available for streaming? Or a live recording from the stage performance?

[@agarryking]

Brilliant!

[@HaunaMyKiki]

This is _not_ the performance of a man who only had 6 months to live. 😢

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

This is so haunting to watch, especially considering that it very well was likely to be his last ever public performance, though no one knew of it at the time (I think that maybe not even Gavin himself knew if it would be his last performance or not). There’s almost nothing here to suggest that he was going through what he would go through later. He certainly doesn’t look or act or feel sick at all, in any way. Strange how some cancers are just so asymptomatic or barely or mildly symptomatic that no one knows that they have gotten it until much later. God, fuck cancer. I hate it. HATE it. First it took Marin, now it has taken Gavin. Fuck, man, why does it have to take all of the good ones away from us?

[@anabritelora]

This was in April and he wasn’t even diagnosed til July. Everything just happened so fast… I still can’t stop crying.

[@schketchy]

Seeing as this performance is from April he probably had no idea… the cancer was discovered just two months before he passed. 😢

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

@@schketchy makes me wonder…what if it was caught earlier, when it wasn’t so aggressive?

[@jlaud29]

This is the problem with sarcoma. It doesn’t necessarily present with symptoms until much too late. Fuck cancer.

[@musicalboy]

The most beautiful performer in every way. I am just still so sad. An absolute PROFOUND LOSS on this community and the world - your light will burn forever.

[@melissabrown6254]

Gone way too soon. Such a talented person. Wish Aaron Tveit had been in this. ❤I am not crying you are crying.....

[@CraigFerguson-n6k]

Have to think Gavin was privately experiencing some side effects from the undiagnosed condition that would be revealed a few months later - god love him, a real trouper. RIP.
