PHOTOS: Lucas Hedges & Mike Faist take it to the bedroom in steamy new ‘Brokeback Mountain’ pics
you looking at these new pics from the London production of Brokeback Mountain. While these aren’t the first images we’ve gotten to see from the buzz-worthy musical adaptation, they are perhaps the steamiest.Based on Annie Proulx’s short story and the 2005 Oscar Award-winning film, the show stars Boy Erased‘s Lucas Hedges as Ennis Del Mar and Mike Faist (of West Side Story fame) as Jack Twist.At a time when being gay was a death sentence, the two Wyoming cowboys meet and find themselves overtaken by passion while herding sheep… on none other than Brokeback Mountain.
Though they end up marrying women, neither can quite get over their forbidden romance, despite feeling that a future together is impossible.While it’s not the kind of bombastic story that’s inspired musicals like The Prom or Wicked, their vulnerable journey and raw moments of intimacy provide fertile ground for a genuinely moving show that’s pushed along by powerful and moody country-flavored tunes.
