On Twitter, Gavin Creel had this to say @gavincreel

prometheus first rehearsal today....look out everybody. this one is gonna be wild. 

The American Repertory Theater recently announced that two-time Tony-nominated actor Gavin Creel will be performing the role of Prometheus in the world premiere musical Prometheus Bound which has just begun rehearsals. 

An outcry against tyranny, Prometheus Bound illustrates one man's struggle against the brute force of a ruthless dictator. Written by Tony and Grammy Award-winning lyricist and playwright Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) with music composed by Grammy Award-winning System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian, this new musical is inspired by Aeschylus's ancient Greek tragedy about the suffering of Western civilization's first prisoner of conscience. A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus stages this world premiere production in OBERON, immersing the audience in an environment that has the Dionysian energy and rebelliousness of a rock concert. The production begins performances on February 25 and will run through April 2, 2011.

Gavin Creel most recently appeared in the role of Claude in Hair on Broadway (Tony® nomination), in the 2004 Broadway Revival of La Cage Aux Folles, and in the 2002 production of Thoroughly Modern Millie (Tony Award nomination). He was also seen in The Goodman Theatre/Kennedy Center production of Bounce, as well as Hair and Mary Poppins on London's West End. As an independent musician, Creel released a debut pop album entitled, "Goodtimenation" in 2006, and recently followed it up with a six song EP of original acoustic tunes called "Quiet," which in its first week broke onto the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart.
