Gavin Creel once talked about his hopes for heaven and what he wishes to happen when he dies. The beloved Broadway actor passed away this week at the age of 48 following a brief battle with a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

I’ll say hi to my grandmother, because I want to say hi to her first, and then they’ll walk me into the stage door and I’ll walk in and everyone will be there.

It will be you and an amazing audience that’s ready to see us and we’ll get to do it. That probably sounds like a Hallmark card, or super cheesy.
