Tony winner Gavin Creel returns to his roles as The Wolf and Cinderella's Prince in the Broadway revival of Into the Woods August 6 at the St. James Theatre. The performer has been out of the show since July 24, temporarily leaving for a residency at The O’Neill National Musical Theatre Conference to present his self-penned theatrical concert Walk on Through: Confessions of a Museum Novice.
Cheyenne Jackson, who performed the roles in the 2019 Hollywood Bowl production, stepped in to cover for Creel July 24–August 2, with company member Jason Forbach filling in August 3–5.
