Zosia Mamet, Benjamin Walker Set for AMERICAN PSYCHO Musical Adaptation Workshop

The Wrap reports exclusively that 'Girls' star Zosia Mamet will take part in an upcoming workshop for a musical version of American Psycho. According to the report, 'Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson' star Benjamin Walker will take on the role of homicidal investment banker Patrick Bateman, while Mamet will play his girlfriend, Evelyn Williams, a role originated by Reese Witherspoon in the 2000 film.

The show had its world premiere at London's Almeida Theatre in December of 2013. Act 4 Productions and producer Ed Pressman plan to bring the Bret Easton Ellis' classic novel to off-Broadway's Second Stage in February 2015. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa penned the book with music by Duncan Sheik. Rupert Goold, who helmed the London premiere, will also direct the workshop.

According to press notes on the project, "26-year-old Patrick Bateman is sophisticated, rich and devastatingly handsome. He's got a sculpted body, a model-gorgeous girlfriend, a to-die-for apartment, and a Wall Street job in 1980s New York City. In short, his life's killer. There's just one snag in this dark vision of the American Dream...Patrick can't get the blood out of his $5000 suits."

The site also reports that if the production makes it to Broadway, Mamet will not necessarily be cast in the role due to prior commitments. In addition to the workshop, the actress stars in the upcoming indie movie "Shiva and May," and will once again appear as Shoshanna Shapiro in the new season of 'Girls' on HBO. She is also said to be under consideration for the movie musical, "Time After Time," in development at Summit.

Mamet has also appeared in "Mad Men" and "The Kids Are All Right" and has starred in Off-Broadway's Really Really.
