Luke Newton is set to make his New York stage debut in the upcoming play House of McQueen.
The 32-year-old actor will play the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen in the new Off-Broadway play, which will begin performances next month.
Luke is best known for playing Colin Bridgerton on the Netflix series Bridgerton, but he’s also an accomplished stage actor who has appeared in The Book of Mormon and The Shape of Things in London.
“It is our absolute pleasure to announce Luke’s involvement with House of McQueen,” said executive producer Rick Lazes in a statement (via Deadline). “We can’t think of anyone better suited to bring Lee’s story to life than this incredibly impressive multi-hyphenate.”
The play will begin preview performances on August 19 ahead of an official opening night on September 9 at The Mansion at Hudson Yards.
Here is the official synopsis of the play: “The play will take guests through Lee’s layered individual experience, from his early days as an emerging designer, to later building one of the most important fashion houses in the world, and ultimately his tragic passing in 2010. Within the performance, intimate relationships with key figures in his life ranging from mentor Isabella Blow to blood relatives will be explored surrounded by a highly produced landscape complete with floor-to-ceiling LED panels designed to shift environments on stage.”
Luke was recently spotted out and about with his girlfriend!
