“HAIR” TONY NOMINEE GAVIN CREEL, JANUARY 21 AND 22,  IN AN APPEARANCE STEAMING  UP PRELUDE BY BARTON PRESENTS  PERFORMANCE SERIES AT ADRIENNE ARSHT CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

 

Close on the heels of Broadway and TV’s Cheyenne Jackson’s sensational Miami debut and offering additional heat to the series, GAVIN CREEL, 2-time Tony Award nominee for performances in “Hair” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” will appear the following week, Friday and Saturday, January 21 and 22, continuing to flesh out the vision of restaurateur/hotelier Barton G. Weiss to provide for South Florida audiences the brand of brilliant talents that play to standing room only in such metropolitan cities as New York, York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles.

 

 

A  multi-talented actor-singer-songwriter and 2-time Tony Award nominee for Best Actor for both “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Hair,” in addition to his applauded performances in the 2004 Broadway revival in “La Cage Aux Folles,” CREEL also appeared in the London’s West End productions of “Mary Poppins” and “Hair,” and regularly plays to sold-out New York and London audiences at such venues as Union Plaza,  Joe’s Pub and Pigalle Club.

 

 Due to his national political efforts with his work through the LGBT community, CREEL has won a far-reaching fan base, honored in 2009 by OUT magazine as one of OUT 100.  With friends Rory O’Malley and Jenny Kanelos, CREEL founded Broadway Impact, a grass roots organization of the theater community mobilizing in support of marriage equality.  In October 2009, he was among the performers on the Capitol lawn at the National Equality March alongside “Milk” screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, singer Lady Gaga, actress Cynthia Nixon and Cleve Jones, organizer of the National Equality March and conceiver of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt.
