THE HEARTTHROB
GAVIN CREEL
Last November, the usually sunny star of Broadway’s Hair was pissed off. The twice Tony-nominated actor (for Hair as well as 2002’s Thoroughly Modern Millie) was having difficulty celebrating Barack Obama’s election because he’d also heard that California’s Prop 8 had passed. That’s when he cofounded Broadway Impact, an organization of people in the theater community committed to fighting for marriage equality. They were able to raise enough money to send 25 busloads of New Yorkers to Washington, D.C. for the National Equality March in October, where he and his Hair cast mates headlined the rally on the Capitol lawn.
