Donations in Creel's memory are requested to be sent to Broadway Cares.
Broadway marquee lights will also dim in Creel's memory December 3 at 6:45 PM ET. Creel was originally set to receive a partial dimming ceremony. After immense online outcry, including a petition which accumulated over 20,000 signatures, the Broadway League announced that Creel would receive a full dimming.
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.
