Her success continued into the 2000s with roles in Jane Eyre, Mamma Mia!, Big River, It Shoulda Been You, and She Loves Me, further cementing her reputation as a respected and reliable presence in the theater world.
One of Ferrall’s most recent Broadway appearances came in Tom Stoppard’s award-winning Leopoldstadt in 2022. In the powerful drama, she portrayed Poldi, the devoted servant of a wealthy Jewish family whose lives are shattered by the rise of Nazi persecution during the Holocaust.
Beyond Broadway, Ferrall also captivated audiences across the country through national touring productions. She took on the role of Madame Morrible in Wicked and portrayed the iconic Madame Thénardier in Les Misérables, introducing her talents to theatergoers far beyond New York City.
Her work extended to television as well, with appearances in popular series including Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, FBI, Blue Bloods, The Good Cop, and NBC’s The Sound of Music Live!. She also appeared in the filmed 2017 production of She Loves Me as part of PBS’s Great Performances.
While Ferrall’s career was filled with memorable performances, those who knew her best remember her not only as a gifted actress, but as a cherished colleague and friend whose passion for storytelling never faded.
She is survived by her husband, Kory Grossman.
