Gavin Creel was one of the greatest actors and musicians I have ever worked with. I admired and revered him not only as an artist, but also as a deeply beautiful person. The time I worked with him on The Book of Mormon in London remains one of the joys of my producing career. pic.twitter.com/Dha4Knik0f

I am so heartbroken to hear the news about Gavin Creel. Wonderfully warm, friendly and incredibly talented, he was my Bert in Mary Poppins and took this theater lover under his wing. I'll never forget him buying Krispy Kreme's for all the kids every Saturday.💔 pic.twitter.com/9uL88TZtaJ
