Off-Broadway's House of McQueen has revealed details for new rush and lottery ticket programs, both offering the most inexpensive way to see the new play spotlighting the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen. The play began previews August 19 at The Mansion at Hudson Yards, and is set to officially open September 9.

Rush tickets will be available through the TodayTix app beginning at 9 AM ET on the day of each performance. The program will offer $45 tickets on a first-come, first-served basis, with seat locations at the discretion of the box office and subject to availability.

A digital lottery will offer $49 tickets to winners of a random drawing. Those interested can enter beginning two days before each performance at LuckySeat.com.

Luke Newton, best known for playing Colin in Netflix’s Bridgerton, portrays late designer Lee Alexander McQueen with Side Show Tony nominee Emily Skinner as his mother Joyce McQueen. The play has been written by Darrah Cloud and is directed by Sam Helfrich.

Newton and Skinner are joined in the cast by Catherine LeFrere (HAPPY!), Cody Braverman (Leopoldstadt), Tim Creavin (Sleep No More), Fady Demian (The Terminal List), Matthew Eby (American Horror Story), Joe Joseph (The Band’s Visit), Denis Lambert (Tammy Faye), Margaret Odette (Sex/Life), Spencer Petro (The Bisley Boy), Jonina Thorsteinsdottir (Survival of the Thickest), Sam Dash (Quantico), James Evans (The Mega-Brands That Built America), Krystal Riggs (Richard II), Jackie Sanders (Oh, Mary!), and Chris Thorn (Death of a Salesman).

The new play takes audiences through Lee’s life, 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. The famed fashion designer died of suicide in 2010 at the age of 40.

Intimate relationships with key figures in the designer's life—including mentor Isabella Below—are explored utilizing a highly produced landscape with floor-to-ceiling LED panels designed to shift environments.

The production also has scenic design by Jason Ardizzone-West, costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Robert Wierzel, sound design by G Clausen, video and projection design by Brad Peterson, hair, wig, and makeup design by Tommy Kurzman, choreography by Benjamin Freedman, dialect coaching by Deborah Hecht, intimacy coaching by NJ Agwuna, and casting by Jamibeth Margolis.

Jason Kaiser is the production stage manager with production management by Aurora Productions and general management by Form Theatricals, Reed Ridgley, and Anthony Francavilla.

House of McQueen is produced by Rick Lazes. Gary James McQueen is the creative director.
