Stephen Wight

A reviews round-up for James Phillip’s McQueen at the St James theatre.

BOOK TICKETS >

McQueen, James Phillips’ much anticipated new play starring Stephen Wight and Diana Argon opened at the St James theatre this week.

Critics praised Stephen Wight’s performance however on whole reviews have been pretty lackluster.  What was tipped as a journey into the visionary imagination and dark dream world of Alexander McQueen is, according to the Daily Mail  “style over substance.”

McQueen plays a strictly limited season from 12 May 2015 until 27 June 2015 at the St James theatre.

The Stage
★★
"Strikingly designed if awkwardly executed and insubstantial celebration of the life and work of Alexander McQueen"

★★
"Style over substance. That’s fashion for you"
