Nov. 26 (UPI) -- A memorial is slated to be held Monday for Broadway icon Gavin Creel. "He brought irrepressible verve, passion, and boundless energy to his onstage roles while devoting his offstage time to advocacy and community-building," said a press release announcing the celebration-of-life ceremony.
