thank you mike faist.
I just want to take a moment to congratulate Mike Faist on his tony nomination. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this than the small town kid from Ohio, who finished high school a year early to pack up his things and move to New York. dropped out of his musical theater program at AMDA after two semesters because he had the gut feeling that it wasn’t right. nine months later, is living in a tiny apartment in the back of a mcdonalds parking lot, performing white Christmas at a dinner theater for minimum wage.Â
someone who has spent nearly four years creating and developing this character of Connor Murphy, that means so much to so many people. with the care he took when embodying this character, from the research and outreach he’s done, he has become a voice, and a light in a dark place for so many of us.
thank you Mike Faist for showing us all that we still matter, and for giving us a reason to believe we’re not alone.Â
you deserve that tony for not only what you’ve done onstage, but for the care you’ve taken for your character and your fans outside of the show.
thank you mike.
sincerely, me
