Video Video: Watch Gavin Creel Perform 'You'll Be Back' at the Premiere Performance of The Hamilton Mixtape

Lincoln Center released footage of the performance in memory of the late, beloved Broadway star.

In memory of the late actor Gavin Creel, Lincoln Center has released a video of Creel's performance of "You'll Be Back" from the American Songbook Series Hamilton Mixtape Concert. Watch the video above. 

The 2012 concert was a presentation of a project from Lin-Manuel Miranda that would eventually become Broadway hit and Best Musical winner Hamilton

"Gavin Creel was our first King when all we had was 11 songs," Miranda shared after the news of Creel's passing. "He wrapped the audience around his finger with nothing but a Burger King crown and his mind-blowing charisma and talent. He is so loved and it is unimaginable that he's no longer with us."

A beloved fixture of the Broadway community, Creel passed away September 30 at the age of 48 after battling a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma. Noted for versatile acting performances in a career that saw him often alternate between comedy and drama, leading man and character actor, Creel's numerous Broadway credits included Thoroughly Modern Millie, La Cage aux Folles, She Loves Me, Hello, Dolly!, and more. Read Creel's obituary here. A memorial for Creel was held December 2, with a subsequent dimming of every marquee light on Broadway December 3.

Donations in Creel's memory are suggested to be made to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.
