“American Psycho”, based on the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis, is coming to Broadway on Wednesday, April 7 with preview performances starting in March.
After selling-out performances in London, the play has now made the trans-atlantic journey to run on Broadway.
The book, which was also turned into the 2000 feature film, tells the story of a young, hip banker who succumbs to his bloodthirsty urges and starts committing murder all over New York City in the ’80s.
Benjamin Walker will star as Patrick Bateman, originally portrayed by Christian Bale in the film. The play’s music and lyrics were written by Duncan Sheik from “Spring Awakening”, Robert Aguirre-Sacasa from “Looking” and “Glee” wrote the book. Rupert Goold from “King Charles III” directs the musical with choreography by Lynne Page from “La Cage Aux Folles.”
Select demo tracks from the show can be found here.

Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
