Video Video: See Gavin Creel's Final Performance at MCC's Miscast, a Joyful Mamma Mia! Medley

The late, beloved actor was a frequent presence in the Off-Broadway company's annual fundraising concert.

The Broadway community lost one of its most beloved artists September 30 when Tony and Olivier winner Gavin Creel passed away at the age of 48.

Blessed with one of the purest, soaring tenor voices, the Broadway favorite always seemed as happy to see audiences as they were to relish in his dynamic performances. Case in point: Creel's Mamma Mia! medley at MCC Theater's annual Miscast concert April 15 at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

'If You Are Alive, LIVE': Broadway Community Pays Tribute to Gavin Creel

Creel, a Tony winner for his work in the most recent Broadway revival of Hello, Dolly!, was a frequent presence at the Miscast fundraisers, the annual concert that features Broadway stars performing songs from roles in which they might not be traditionally cast. The actor's previous showstoppers for the series included "As If We Never Said Goodbye"; "In His Eyes" with Aaron Tveit; "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" with Jason Tam and Andy Karl; "Take Me or Leave Me," also with Tveit; and more.

In his final appearance for the Off-Broadway company, Creel was joined by Madeline Benson and Chris Peters for the Mamma Mia! medley that included "The Winner Takes It All," "Mamma Mia," and "Dancing Queen." In the video above, watch Creel do what he did time and time again for over two decades on New York stages: spread joy and warmth with his open-hearted, deeply felt performances.
