Gabrielle's love for the theatre began before she was even born, as her Mom saw many Broadway shows when she was pregnant with her; that explains her strong love for Beauty and the Beast!

Gabrielle grew up in Mahopac, New York, and being only an hour train or car ride away from NYC, she would frequent the bright lights of Broadway and many a

Stage Door often, where her dreams to become a performer were set into motion. After countless dance recitals and her tour de force performance as City Father Munchkin #1 in the Wizard of Oz at age 8, she knew she was destined for the stage and a career in the performing arts. Gabrielle graduated from the Boston Conservatory with a BFA in Musical Theatre and an Emphasis in Directing, Magna Cum Laude. In her free time, you can find Gabrielle either watching RuPaul's Drag Race or obsessing over Harry Styles.
