For PTC: Putting It Together. Brent most recently created the role of John Perry for the international premiere of Beaches The Musical, adapted from Iris Rainer Dart’s best-selling novel, with music by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Mike Stoller. Brent was an original cast member in the first national company of Broadway’s Pretty Woman. He starred as Edward Lewis for sold-out crowds in Minneapolis, Cleveland, Fort Lauderdale, and Durham, North Carolina, and played runs in Boston, St. Louis, and Chicago as Philip Stuckey. Last summer, he helped lead an all-star cast for Broadway Sacramento as Prince Topher in Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, a role he previously starred in for the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. @brentthiessen
