‘Bridgerton’ Star Luke Newton Heads Off-Broadway as Alexander McQueen in ‘House of McQueen’

'Bridgerton' star Luke Newton has joined the off-Broadway production of 'House of McQueen' in the titular role of fashion designer Alexander McQueen.

“We can’t think of anyone better suited to bring Lee’s story to life than this incredibly impressive multi-hyphenate.” Newton revealed news of the role on Instagram, where he posted three photos of McQueen, who died in 2010 at the age of 40. “It is the story of a boy born in the east end of London, who literally wears his heart on his sleeve, never meant to rise beyond his working-class family,” an official synopsis of the play reads. Fighting against the commercial interests of legendary houses like Givenchy and Gucci to remain provocative, he challenges norms and pushes boundaries as an artist.
