McQueen, Starring Stephen Wight, Will Shutter Early in London's West End

Unfortunately McQueen has not proven the height of fashion in London's West End. The production, starring Stephen Wight, will close several weeks early on October 17. Written by James Phillips and directed by John Caird, the show had previously been set to complete its limited engagement at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on November 7.

McQueen is a journey into the imagination and dream world of fashion icon Alexander McQueen. Set on a single London night, it steps into the fairy story landscape of McQueen's mind, the landscape seen in his immortal shows, where with a dress an urchin can become an Amazon, where beauty might just help us survive the night. A girl has watched McQueen's Mayfair house for eleven consecutive days. Tonight she climbs down from her watching tree and breaks into his house, to steal a dress, to become someone special. He catches her, but, instead of calling the police, they embark together on a journey through London and into his heart.

The cast also includes Carly Bawden, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Laura Rees and Michael Bertenshaw.
