Directed by
Rupert Goold (King Charles III, Macbeth),
American Psycho has music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner
Duncan Sheik, making this his first new show to come to Broadway since his Tony Award-winning Spring Awakening. The show has a book by
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Spiderman: Turn off the Dark, "Glee") and is based on the novel by
Bret Easton Ellis.
Lynne Page (La Cage Aux Folles, A Little Night Music) is the choreographer. The production will star
Benjamin Walker (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Bloody Bloody
Andrew Jackson) as Patrick Bateman.
Living the high life in 1980s Manhattan, Patrick Bateman has it all - looks, money, style and status. He and his entourage buy the most expensive designer clothes, eat at the most exclusive restaurants and party at the hottest clubs. But privately, Patrick indulges in another kind of transgression. And people - including those closest to him - keep disappearing.
AMERICAN PSYCHO had its world premiere at the Almeida Theatre in London from December 3rd, 2013 through February 1st, 2014. That sold-out production was presented by
The Almeida Theatre and Headlong in association with
Act 4 Entertainment (
David Johnson & Jesse Singer).
