Gavin Creel, a celebrated Tony Award winner known for his remarkable performances in Broadway productions, passed away at the age of 48 on September 30, 2024, due to a rare form of sarcoma.

In memory of Creel, a memorial service was held on December 2, 2024, followed by a poignant dimming of Broadway marquee lights on December 3, 2024.

Before his passing, Creel's journey was documented in an episode of 'Common Denominator,' filmed prior to his rehearsals for his final show, 'Walk On Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice.'

This episode will feature Creel's unreleased original song 'Alone Tonight,' which reflects his mental health journey.

Harris Schwartzberg, the series' creator, plans to release Creel's episode in full following his unexpected death and will match donations collected during the premiere screening.

Proceeds from the screening will support the Celia Keenan-Bolger and Gavin Creel Activist Artist Endowed Scholarship Fund at the University of Michigan.

The documentary, showcasing Creel's final filmed appearance, is set to premiere on January 27, 2025, with streaming options available in February 2025.

The premiere event will feature an introduction by Schwartzberg, along with behind-the-scenes clips, music videos of Creel, and performances by students from the University of Michigan Musical Theater program.

Creel was widely recognized for his versatile roles in iconic Broadway productions including 'Thoroughly Modern Millie,' 'La Cage aux Folles,' 'She Loves Me,' and 'Hello, Dolly!'.
