Luke Newton Leads House of McQueen as Off-Broadway Show Opens at Hudson Yards

The production employs large-scale projections alongside an exhibit of 27 original garments under family oversight.

Overview

  • House of McQueen officially opened September 9 at The Mansion at Hudson Yards, marking Luke Newton’s New York theater debut.
  • The two-hour portrait races across nearly four decades of Alexander McQueen’s life using a minimal set backed by expansive LED screens.
  • An on-site gallery displays 27 authenticated McQueen dresses and accessories, with his nephew Gary James McQueen credited as creative director.
  • Emily Skinner portrays Joyce McQueen and Catherine LeFrere plays Isabella Blow, with a 12-member ensemble covering multiple roles.
  • Early reviews praise the visual scale and archival elements while faulting the script’s fragmented structure and heavy reliance on projections; the run is scheduled through October 19 with tickets listed at $56–$236.
