Tony Award nominee Gavin Creel will offer a musical theatre master class on Thursday, November 3rd from 6:30 to 10:30pm at the Davenport Studio in Midtown Manhattan.

In addition to his Tony Award nominated work in Hair and Thoroughly Modern Millie, Creel appeared on Broadway in the 2004 Revival of La Cage Aux Folles and across the pond in Hair and Mary Poppins in the West End. Master class participants should please prepare two musical theatre songs, one pre-1980 and one post-1980 (contrasting styles if possible). Additionally, if participants have a pop song on hand to work on with Creel it would be encouraged.

Early bird tuition is $199 for a limited time only (prices will increase once the early bird slots are filled). A small number of auditor spots are also available for $30.

Additionally, Creel currently plays to sold-out crowds across the country and at such New York hot spots as Symphony Space, Joe's Pub, and Arlene's Grocery. His debut pop album "GOODTIMENATION," and intimate follow-up EP, "Quiet," were both written and recorded with long time collaborator, Robbie Roth.

Through his advocacy, Creel has gained national attention performing and speaking at events and rallies alongside Lady Gaga, Sara Bareilles, Cynthia Nixon, Dustin Lance Black, and HRC national dinner keynote speaker President Barack Obama.
