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 💚
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
@@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.
@@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
to have this rare ability to connect an entire room full of people and bring them to their feet; his infectious light and warm heart knew no bounds. the fact that we are remembering him for his kindness, affection, and generosity, and not only for his truly stupendous well of talent. the rarest and the greatest of them all. rest in peace, dear gavin. you only come around once in a lifetime and we were among the luckiest to witness it.
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. ❤
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!!
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 🤍
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.
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 ❤️
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 🎉❤
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 💔
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
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!
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.
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?
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.

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

This performance exudes joy. It's so healing to see him having the time of his life here. He was so so loved
What an absolutely beautiful performance -so much vibrant and life!
Helplessly laughing at "I was in Hair, MOVE!"
Oh Gavin, there'll never be another like you. Rest in peace.
“Watch my choreography!!!!” God, this man radiated so much joy.

such a beautiful, joyful man
Yes, I've been broken hearted... Blue since the day we parted... My, my, we will never let you go.
Spreading joy as usual. You will forever be missed, Gavin Creel. 💔
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.
Hearing his name and/or one of his songs is still causing me to weep almost instantly.
Never knew there could be so much talent in one man , still can't believe you are gone Gavin .
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. ❤
His joy is palpable. Wow, what a gift he was to the world ❤
I still don't want to believe he's gone. Cancer sucks.
His voice always had such a wonderful, emotional quality. You feel every word - joy and sadness. A true legend. We'll never forget him.
Oh Gavin, you absolute ray of sunshine, your spirit and your talent will be missed. Thank you for uploading this when you did, MCC
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!!
What an incredible voice and presence he had. His death is heartbreaking.
Crying at 8:15 am is just what Gavin Creel does to a person 😭❤️

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 ❤

Only Gavin could get me to like Abba songs. Rest well, you beautiful, talented man.
Why am I in tears of joy for the love he brought!! Damn it it’s not fair 🥹💔
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.
He was just magic. 😥
Oh, this is from April 😢 Thank you for posting! What a loss, darling luminous Gavin ❤️💔
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 💔
@@henryriley4958unfathomable 💔
Rest in peace Gavin. I was so amazed when you played Claude in Hair. I’m so glad I went.
He just passed away from cancer, age 48.:( it's wonderful to see him so full of life
this is so wonderful
Couldn't agree more!
What an absolute star! He radiates.
I'm laughing through my tears right now. I adored Gavin. Thank you so much for sharing this!
God, this one hurts. Rest in peace Gavin.
He exuded such joy 💔
God what a light. What a man. May he rest in peace
We miss him so much 💕

And omg JINKX dancing around in red like a shy belle of the ball. What a room packed of talent,
The first tone of his voice already made me cry.
Thank you for entertaining us Gavin. R.I.P.
So full of joy and life.
Can’t believe it’s been a week ago today 💔
may he rest in the absolute most amount of peace, we miss you gavin 🩷🩷🩷

ever the consummate performer and entertainer!
the broadway world and its supporters and lovers shall really miss him much.....
He was so talented he will be missed
He's perfect. He'll always be
Thank you for sharing this. Hearing his beautiful voice and experience his energy is euphoric despite the tears it now brings
He was so crazy, I love this performance 🤣
my favorite abba song sung so incredible by the great gavin creel
Tears in my eyes… so tragic… he was amazing beyond words… thank you so very very much for posting this…
I assume his last performance ?
Looking back on his website, he did a couple of cabaret performances in May out of state, but this was his last NYC appearance 😢
Thank you so much for uploading this ❤️🩹😢
What an absolute light.
Rest your soul, you dear Broadway angel.
First time in a long time I watched a video all the way through, no distractions, worth it.
Gavin is the best, thanks for posting this video
Thank You for posting this! RIP Gavin ❤
Rest in peace lovely boy
Star perfection…. NOW ANGEL PERFECTION!!!! taken way to soon….!!!
bless you 💔
Brilliant ❤❤❤
Any chance “Walk on Through” will be available for streaming? Or a live recording from the stage performance?
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.
Thank you
This is _not_ the performance of a man who only had 6 months to live. 😢
Brilliant!

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?
This was in April and he wasn’t even diagnosed til July. Everything just happened so fast…
I still can’t stop crying.
Seeing as this performance is from April he probably had no idea… the cancer was discovered just two months before he passed. 😢
@@schketchy makes me wonder…what if it was caught earlier, when it wasn’t so aggressive?
This is the problem with sarcoma. It doesn’t necessarily present with symptoms until much too late. Fuck cancer.
Gone way too soon. Such a talented person. Wish Aaron Tveit had been in this. ❤I am not crying you are crying.....
Rest in piece Gavin ❤
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.
Bringing joy up until his last breath. He was a marvel.
Rest In Peace 🥺💔
