British actor Luke Newton (⁘Bridgerton⁘) channels late fashion designer Alexander McQueen in the new Off-Broadway show ⁘House of McQueen,⁘ which is being performed at The Mansion at Hudson Yards in New York City.
Luke Newton delivers a powerful, transcendent, cerebral performance as Alexander McQueen, which captures his conscience to the tee; moreover, he layers his emotions well and has the crowd with him every step of the way.
Tony nominee Emily Skinner is sublime as Alexander's mother Joyce, while D enis Lambert is convincing in the dual roles of Alexander's father Ronald and fashion mogul Tom Ford.
Catherine LeFrere is effervescent as Isabella Blow, the woman who is credited for discovering McQueen early on.
At this show, the role of Young Lee was played by Matthew Eby, who gave a heartfelt and endearing performance.
Every single person in the cast brought something unique to the table, and they were all noteworthy in their own right. The direction by Sam Helfrich was delightful.
