Brett Thiele
Brett Thiele is back home, appearing in theater’s mostanticipated, most laid-back, most paradisiacal Broadwaybound Escape to Margaritaville, which opens on Friday in New Orleans, the city where he grew up! Before this, Mr. Thiele appeared in Miss Saigon and Broadway’s Spider- Man: Turn Off The Dark. This triple-threat keeps threatening with relentless talent and contagious energy and we are thrilled to have him On the Couch.
