Rick Ferrari is a talent agent, agency founder and Broadway producer.
Ferrari began his career in New York City at Zoli Models in 1981, continuing to work as a model agent through the mid-90s. He later worked as a talent manager with Sandy Gallin at Gallin Morey Associates and at the commercial department at Photogenics in 2008, representing Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Walker. [1]
At talent agency Don Buchwald & Associates, Ferrari headed the west coast commercial/branding division for the company. [2]
Ferrari's work in branding endorsements lead to the growth of the on-camera roster, ultimately leading to him opening his own firm, Ferrari Talent.[3]
In 2012, the Hollywood Reporter announced the Go-Go's musical Head Over Heels (musical) with Rick Ferrari, Donovan Leitch and Gwyneth Paltrow as producers.[4]
Using the music of the 1980s all-girl supergroup, the musical had its world premiere at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon in 2015 and a pre-Broadway tryout at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre in the spring of 2018.[5]
The Head Over Heels Broadway production was led by Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (director) with musical supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Pulitzer Prize and Tony winner Tom Kitt (musician) and original book by Tony winner Jeff Whitty.[6]
The musical opened at the Hudson Theatre on July 26, 2018 and played 188 regular performances and 37 previews by the time it played its final performance Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019.[7]
It was nominated for several awards including Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Musical by Drama League Awards, winning a Theatre World Award for Bonnie Milligan's debut performance.[8]
