The Off-Broadway production of “House of McQueen” has extended its run at The Mansion at Hudson Yards. Originally scheduled for a limited engagement, the play will now continue performances through November 2.
The extension comes with a casting change in the lead role. Liam Tamne will take over as fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen beginning October 2. Tamne’s casting follows the departure of Bridgerton actor Luke Newton, who will play his final performance on September 28.
Written by Darrah Cloud and directed by Sam Helfrich, “House of McQueen” dramatizes the late designer’s life and career. The production explores McQueen’s personal relationships, including his bond with mentor Isabella Blow.
