Throwback Thursday: Gavin Creel And Aaron Tveit “His Eyes”

Gavin Creel and Aaron Tveit sing "His Eyes" from Jekyll & Hyde

Broadway greats Gavin Creel and Aaron Tveit make me smile so hard at this.

The dynamic duo sing “His Eyes” from the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde in this video throwback I believe is from COVID days.

Gavin (a Tony winner for his performance in Hello, Dolly!) passed away from a rare, aggressive form of cancer at the age of 48 on September 30, 2024, just two months after his diagnosis.

It was recently announced that Aaron is returning to his Tony-winning role in Moulin Rouge for a final, limited 15-performance engagement.
