      Gavin was playing Steven Kodaly in "She Loves Me" when this was taped. That's why he has that mustache. I'd like to see Gavin & Aaron together in an actual Broadway show, but not necessarily as gay lovers.

    This video was my introduction to Gavin Creel. I have been watching clips and tributes to him all day and crying. What a bright light and beautiful soul. Over the years I’ve read/watched so many interviews with theatre actors who name him as one of their inspirations when they were students or just starting their careers (including Aaron). He really was your favorite tenor’s favorite tenor.

      @@noahg.6475 gavin actually said it again this year during the virtual miscast, but the original quote was from a broadwayworld interview he did:
      'Oh my gosh! Yeah, I had no idea how famous... he is so famous! I had no idea how famous Aaron was. Geez. Yes, it was so fun... I said, "Aaron, you get to sing the high part, I don't want to sing that high." And he shredded it, and I was like ok there we go. And then we just did it, and had a little rehearsal, and got up and did it, and it was really fun. And then I get to the theatre the next day and someone said I had like 800,000 views, and I was like, "What?! I've never had that many views on anything." But yeah, it was pretty cool. It was so much fun to do. The only regret I have is that we didn't just go for it and kiss each other at the end. That was my idea at the end. I was like, "Aaron, what do you think? We get really, really, really close, and make people think we're gonna do it and then just end the song." But, we should've just done it and freak everybody out. Pretty fun.'

      Aaron Tveit is fully straight, and he only likes beautiful women, which pretty much eliminates 99.999% of the females on this thread. lol He'll probably marry another Broadway star. That's good, because 99.999% of the females (and gay males) on this thread have nothing in common with him, as they know absolutely NOTHING about musical theatre or Broadway. Frankly, they're pretty stupid.

      Jonathan Larson brought a new generation of folks to the theatre with RENT. The stroy, the characters, the songs and music; just amazing. I was fortunate enough to see it on Broadway with most of the original cast. Brought me to tears. I was so sad when he passed away. I shared that information with my dad when his family accepted his Tony. He responded by saying that sometimes when someone puts their whole being into something they literally pour their life into it. Somehow that gave me some peace. Jonathan is no longer with us but he lives on through RENT and his other works. His life was unfortunately short but his legacy is forever.

    After watching this for about a hundred times I honestly can't decide what my favourite part is. Maybe the obvious grinding at 4:04, or the way Gavin pushes Aaron away from him? It could also be Aaron's interested and considering "Hm" or the butt clap that Aaron seemingly didn't see coming, or is it, maybe, all of Gavin's reactions to Aaron's whole verse? Or, possibly, when Aaron drags his hand through Gavin's hair ever so teasingly? Their vocal performance is out of this world. So many options, so little time. Maybe I'll watch it another dozen times just to make the decision easier.

    I love Aaron as much as any other theatre kid, but Gavin fucking KILLED IT in this performance. I don't know what I was expecting, even with an extremely high bar, but those riffs viciously murdered me and then brought me back to life because I couldn't bear to miss a nanosecond of this glory
