Rick Lazes (Executive Producer) is a multifaceted visual artist at the forefront of documentary film, musical performance production, and multimedia entertainment.

In 2020, he produced and directed the feature-length documentary Lennox Lewis: The Untold Story, narrated by Dr. Dre. The film, which explores the life of heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis, premiered at both the Toronto International Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival, and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Lazes’ latest film, Knock Out Blonde, was recently released in UK theaters to excellent reviews and is now available on Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Apple TV. The film features a dynamic soundtrack that includes music by Elton John, Sade, Adam Levine, Little Richard, and RuPaul.

In addition to his work in film and music, Lazes is also an accomplished sculptor. His work spans a wide array of media and has been exhibited in art shows, galleries, and museums around the world.

After a decade of development, Lazes is producing a new Off-Broadway play about legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen titled House of McQueen. The production offers an intimate and multidimensional portrait of one of fashion’s most visionary figures, told in a way never seen before.

House of McQueen will debut this September at The Mansion at Hudson Yards in New York City. Written by award-winning playwright Darrah Cloud and directed by Sam Helfrich, the play traces the life and artistry of Lee Alexander McQueen—from his early days as a young designer, to the creation of one of the world’s most influential fashion houses, and ultimately, his tragic passing in 2010.

Set in a theatrical space designed to immerse audiences in McQueen’s provocative world, the production will serve as a living, breathing tribute to his genius and the intersection of fashion and performance. To ensure authenticity, Lazes has enlisted Alexander McQueen’s nephew, Gary McQueen—who worked alongside him for many years—as the show’s Creative Director.

Over ten years, Lazes has assembled an international team of artists to bring this multisensory experience to life. His goal: to inspire new audiences to explore their own creativity through the transformative power of storytelling.

“I am a visual artist, whether it’s expressed through film, music, or sculpture,” Lazes says. “My passion is to tell stories that entertain and inspire audiences—to help viewers imagine and explore their own creativity.”
