Gavin received an Olivier Award for his portrayal of Elder Price in the London production of The Book of Mormon and also appeared on the West End in Mary Poppins, Hair, and Waitress.
On television, Creel performed a solo PBS concert special with “Stars on Stage,” which aired nationally in January 2022, starred in Ryan Murphy’s hit anthology series American Horror Stories, and played Bill alongside Julie Andrews in Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime.
As a songwriter, he has released three original albums: GoodTimeNation, Quiet, and Get Out and recently finished an original theatrical piece entitled Walk on Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice, based on a commission from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
