Relatively few Broadway fans were familiar with the work of alternative and acoustic singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik when he and bookwriter/lyricist Stephen Sater burst onto the theatre scene in 2006 with their Tony-winning score for SPRING AWAKENING, based on Frank Wedekind's controversial German play of adolescent angst.
Now Sheik serves as his own lyricist for his techo/electronic score for AMERICAN PSYCHO, a new musical based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel of a young man's horrific reaction to working in the competitive world of Wall Street.
Charitybuzz is now hosting an online auction for two house tickets for a performance of AMERICAN PSYCHO, followed by a meet and greet with Duncan Sheik and members of the cast.
