Did I miss an announcement, but in the video Sara comments Gavin is stepping in as Dr. Pommater.
Around the 9:20 mark.

Sounds like she was just explaining the role that Gavin was singing in the song 30 seconds later.

Yeah, I don't think Gavin is stepping into waitress. He's said on several occasions that the next thing he wants to do is originate a role not replace or revive one.

Why would recently Tony-minted Gavin Creel temporarily step into a role on the West End... in a show that is also currently on Broadway?
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Who said anything about temporarily?
Maybe he’ll do Waitress for a bit before Hello, Dolly opens up over there.

He's a Tony- and Olivier-winning actor. His boyfriend's in the Broadway production. If he chooses to do it in London (perhaps with Henry), why not?

Yeah I think she just roped him in to sing a couple of Dr P Jenna duets with her for the Waitress promo.

100% agree! I saw him and Sara...they had such amazing chemistry and played really well off each other! I guess it helped that they're such good friends. But I was so impressed...I had seen Sara previously in the role in her last stints, but it seemed like she got even better this time around. A+ performances from everyone (and especially Larry Marshall-he's so good as Joe!)

This post didn't age well.
