Written by award-winning playwright Darrah Cloud and directed by Sam Helfrich, House of McQueen explores McQueen’s early days, the rise of his legendary fashion house, and his deeply human relationships with family and muses. A decade in the making, this production is presented in collaboration with Gary James McQueen—Lee’s nephew and Creative Director—and Executive Producer Rick Lazes. The experience also includes a curated display of archival Alexander McQueen designs.
“Lee’s creativity and passion have had a profound impact on my life and continue to inspire me every day. It’s been a privilege to collaborate with Rick and his team to bring that spirit to life in this new show.” — Gary James McQueen, Creative Director
“Although faced with immense challenges throughout his life, Lee rewrote the rulebook of fashion by pushing boundaries. It’s an incredible honor to tell his story in such an authentic, immersive way. With a full cast of extraordinarily talented performers, we are gloriously bringing McQueen’s world to vivid life—and I couldn’t be more excited for audiences to step into this universe of artistry, rebellion, and raw emotion.”— Rick Lazes, Executive Producer
