Technically my first guest ever (recorded in summer of 2021) is Tony-winning star of stage and screen, writer, composer, activist, and self-admitted “hot mess,” GAVIN CREEL!    Come along as Gavin and I talk about his arrival in NYC, his harrowing Broadway debut, and all the twists and turns and pitfalls along the way that have led to his brand new one-man show WALK ON THROUGH!   What is the tin rabbit? And how does that resonate in Gavin’s life?  What experience(s) sent him into a #ShameSpiral, and which “quirky” Broadway vet helped him snap out of it with some sage advice: “It’s all bull$h!+” ?  Gavin’s unique perspective will help you all realize that “ultimately the encouragement you need more than anything…is from within.”   Gavincreel.com | Gavin's new musical: https://www.walkonthrough.com/ Insta: @realgavincreel  |  Insta: @walkonthroughmusical  |  TikTok: @realgavincreel --------------------------- FOLLOW / SUBSCRIBE so you never miss an episode!   And please take 2 minutes to leave a 5 ⭐️ review if you like this episode!   It will help make this podcast more visible, and reach more musical theatre lovers!
