House of McQueen is the story of iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen as seen through the eyes of... Alexander McQueen. From his early days drawing on the walls of his East London council-house bedroom, a bird-obsessed boy who wore his heart on his sleeve, to his unlikely rise in the commercial fashion world, Lee, as he was known to his friends, tells his own story on a runway, a place he’d always dreamt of living his life. He takes us through his memories of epiphany and trauma to his final moments in which he could no longer make anything beautiful out of his life.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR House of McQueen
'House of McQueen' Off-Broadway review — Luke Newton-led play puts style over substance
2 / 10
The directorial vision of the working-class tailor-turned-couture provocateur is basically absent from the show, leaving the audience to imagine a clearer picture of not only what McQueen's clothes looked like, but how they were part of an ambitious point of view that epitomized what the late designer did best: sew fashion, nightmare, fantasy, and theatre together. McQueen was once called fashion’s “closest thing to a rockstar,” but House of McQueen, written by Darrah Cloud and directed by Sam Helfrich, relegates one of the most theatrical fashion designers of all time to surface-level banality.
House of McQueen: A Bio-Drama That Has the Feel of an Art Installation
5 / 10
The large ensemble handle their versatile chores expertly, and generally look fabulous. And Newton anchors the proceedings with his obviously deeply felt performance in which he makes clear McQueen’s inner demons. “Money isn’t important,” the fashion designer insists early in the play. “All I want to do is fix ugliness.” House of McQueen makes clear, however imperfectly, how he couldn’t fix himself.
