On December 3 at 6:45 p.m., all Broadway theaters in New York City will dim their lights, marking his significant contributions to the theater community worldwide. Creel, a celebrated songwriter, and singer, battled metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma, a rare cancer, and spent his last days in hospice surrounded by family, including his partner, Alex Temple Ward.
