The Broadway community is mourning the loss of one of its beloved performers.
Gina Ferrall, a veteran actress whose career lit up Broadway stages for decades in productions including Mamma Mia!, Big River, and the acclaimed revival of Leopoldstadt, has died following a brief battle with uterine sarcoma. She was 67.
The heartbreaking news was shared by her husband, Broadway drummer and percussionist Kory Grossman, who confirmed her passing to PlaybiSll.
For theater lovers, Ferrall’s name was synonymous with dedication, talent, and versatility. Throughout a career that spanned more than three decades, she brought unforgettable characters to life on some of Broadway’s biggest stages, earning the admiration of colleagues and audiences alike.
Ferrall came from a family deeply rooted in the performing arts. Her mother, Marrian Walters, was an actress, while her father, Mike, worked as a director.
Born in San Francisco on September 6, 1958, Ferrall made her Broadway debut in Les Misérables as a replacement cast member. That opportunity launched an impressive stage career that saw her appear in beloved productions such as Beauty and the Beast, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and The Sound of Music throughout the 1990s.
