Brisa Carleton grew up in the Pacific Northwest before moving to Midtown Manhattan to turn her passion for musicals and “flair for the dramatic” into an award-winning career as a Broadway producer. Three Tony Awards later, she continues to be active on Broadway, working on numerous productions including Hamilton, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Moulin Rouge.

Her debut novel, Last Call at the Savoy, came out in November 2025 from Grand Central/Hachette. In 2019, at the request of HSH Prince Albert of Monaco, Brisa joined his Foundation to lead philanthropy efforts in theater, dance, and film on behalf of his mother, Princess Grace Kelly. She enjoys traveling to literary destinations with a martini in one hand and a manuscript in the other, collecting stories with her husband, Mark, and her chihuahua, Mister Big.
