There will be a public memorial ceremony for Broadway actor Gavin Creel at the St. James Theatre on Monday, December 2 at 4 PM ET.
The Broadway League will dim the lights on Tuesday, December 3 at 6:45 PM ET in honor of Creel, per Broadway News.
They had originally planned a partial dimming, but they changed their initial decision to a complete dimming ceremony after receiving backlash from the community and an online petition with over 20,000 signatures.
Fans may send an email to GavinCelebration@BespokeTheatricals.com with your name and contact details if you would like to attend the memorial on December 2.
Donations in honor of Creel can be donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids in place of flowers.
Tony Award winner Creel, a well-liked member in the theatrical community, died on September 30 at home. The 48-year-old lost a hard fight with cancer.
When the League first announced that just a few locations would dim their lights in the actor's honor, the emotional reaction from coworkers and fans showed how much Creel was adored.
He was known for his exceptional flexibility as an actor over the course of a long career, portraying both lead and supporting Broadway roles and effortlessly switching between serious and comic parts.
His repertoire includes appearances in productions including "Hello, Dolly!" "Thoroughly Modern Millie," "La Cage aux Folles," "She Loves Me," and countless more.
