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 begins performances next month.
Luke is best known for playing Colin Bridgerton in the Netflix series Bridgerton but he is 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 ,” executive producer Rick Rush said 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, before 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, relationships with key intimate figures in his life ranging from mentor Isabella Blow to blood relatives will be surrounded by a highly produced landscape complete with floor-to-ceiling LED panels designed to change environments on stage. ”
Luke was recently seen with his girlfriend!
