I've always liked Creel - he's very talented and very good at what he does. But so far, having seen the majority of his roles on Broadway, I don't think what he does is super unique or special outside of how special it is to be a wonderful singer, good actor, good mover, charming and good looking, all at the same time and on stage. (and don't get me wrong, that list isn't meant to undermine his talent or the difficulty of being a broadway performer at his level)
Dead-on. When I hear the term "peerless," it evokes a once-in-a-generation talent, someone totally in a class of their own. That is certainly not Creel, although he's quite talented. Honestly, save perhaps Audra McDonald, I'm not sure I would call any current musical theater performer "peerless." |
