Brokeback Mountain

Brokeback Mountain Poster

Wyoming 1963: a wild landscape where people live in extreme rural poverty in tight, insular and conservative communities.

Born in Gahanna, Ohio, in 1992, Mike Faist is a Tony-nominated actor best known for performances in *Dear Evan Hansen* and *West Side Story*. Faist will make his West End debut in 2023 in the world premiere of *Brokeback Mountain*.

Growing up, Faist starred in local productions of *The Wizard of Oz, Oliver!*, and *Alice in Wonderland*. He then studied at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, but dropped out after a year to audition for Off-Broadway plays.

Faist’s big break came in 2011, originating the role of Morris Delancey in the world premiere of *Newsies*. He then transferred with the show to Broadway, understudying Jeremy Jordan in the role of Jack Kelly. 

He then made his straight acting debut, cast in *Appropriate* at Pershing Square Signature Center. In a [New York Theatre Guide review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/appropriate), “What is fascinating and brave about Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins' writing is that he is hauling old sins out into the light.He is an adventuresome chronicler. Bravo to that.” A year later, he appeared opposite Peter Dinklage and Taylor Schilling in a 2015 revival of *A Month in the Country*. In a [New York Theatre Guide review,](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/a-month-in-the-country) “There is something tragic and a little magical about this story.” 

Faist then originated the role of Connor Murphy in *Dear Evan Hansen*, playing the role from workshops to its Broadway premiere in 2016 — he picked up a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical. In a [New York Theatre Guide review](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/dear-evan-hansen), “Faist is flawless as he gives us the really hard to love boy teen narcissistic asshole who misdirects his passion against his own best interests. We know this kid, too. He's the one who didn't make it.” 

He then played Spence in Days of Rage at Second Stage Theater: “it is delivered with such gusto and force that you are left asking for more. Days of Rage is as relevant today as it was in the times of Vietnam war, and that is its victory,” said [New York Theatre Guide](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/review-of-second-stage-theaters-days-of-rage-at-tony-kiser-theater). 

Faist’s no stranger to musical films either. He played Jets leader Riff in the Steven Spielberg film adaptation of *West Side Story*. For his performance, Faist received a BAFTA nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. He’s also appeared in *The Unspeakable Act* (2012,) *Yellow* (2015,) *The Grief of Others* (2015,) *Deception* (2018,) *Wildling* (2018), and *Panic* (2021.)

Mike Faist will make his West End debut in the world premiere of *Brokeback Mountain* at @sohoplace. He’ll play Jack Twist alongside Lucas Hedges as Ennis del Mar.

What is the true cost of love? For two cowboys, their lives change when they discover a powerful connection right under their noses. Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges star in the world premiere of *Brokeback Mountain* at @sohoplace. *Brokeback Mountain* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

Although most people will be aware of the *Brokeback Mountain* story from the 2005 movie starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, it originates from The New Yorker. Annie Proulx’s 1997 short story won the National Magazine Award for Fiction, and earned Proulx a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for the collection Close Range: Wyoming Stories. The stage play offers a chance to visit 1960s Wyoming via the West End.

Ashley Robinson adapts Proulx’s story. But, this isn't a typical play. *Everybody's Talking About Jamie* creator Dan Gillespie Sells composes an all-original country and western score for *Brokeback Mountain* in London. Eddi Reader will perform the musical accompaniment, joined by her four-piece band. 

### What’s *Brokeback Mountain* about?

In 1960s Wyoming, close-knit communities stayed together. Although they struggle to get by, they make do. Two cowboys, Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, start work on Joe Aguirre’s sheep farm. While working on the isolated mountain, they find a deep, intimate connection with one another. Love comes in all forms, but for this pair, can they keep their bond a secret? 

Tickets to *Brokeback Mountain* are available now. Book your *Brokeback Mountain* tickets on London Theatre today.

Eight years later, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal starred in the three-time Academy Award-winning Ang Lee- film adaptation. 

This isn't the first time *Brokeback Mountain* will be performed on stage. Ivo van  Hove directed a 2014 opera based on the lives of Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar in Madrid. However, this world premiere play marks the first *Brokeback Mountain* London appearance. Ashley Robinsons adapts Annie Proulx's story, joined by *Everybody's Talking About Jamie* composer Dan Gillespie Sells who creates an all-original country and western score.
