American Psycho - 2016 Broadway History , Info & More
Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (Broadway)
236 West 45th St. New York, NY
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.
Based on the best-selling novel by Bret Easton Ellis, and set in the epicenter of excess: 1980s Manhattan, this hit musical tells the story of Patrick Bateman, a young and handsome Wall Street banker with impeccable taste and unquenchable desires. Patrick and his elite group of friends spend their days in chic restaurants, exclusive clubs and designer labels. But at night, Patrick takes part in a darker indulgence, and his mask of sanity is starting to slip...

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR American Psycho
Theater review: ‘American Psycho’ kills at the start, but interest wanes in second act of glossy new musical
7 / 10
With its wicked wit, catchy ear candy and sexy cast, 'American Psycho' gives you a killer buzz - for a while. Euphoria sinks once corpses pile up in this glossy new Broadway musical...Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ('Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark') and composer-lyricist Duncan Sheik (a Tony winner for 'Spring Awakening') are mostly faithful to the novel. But they heighten the ironic humor and lessen the graphic violence of both the book and the Christian Bale film...The pace and interest slacken in the second act...Walker ('Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson') hits all the right notes, seemingly without effort...
‘American Psycho: The Musical’ chooses comedy over carnage
8 / 10
Benjamin Walker is toned and resplendent in his tighty whities...his fiancée, played with hilarious archness by Heléne Yorke...The second act flags...but the score is strong...Duncan Sheik's synthesizer-heavy music - radical by Broadway standards...finally delivers a worthy follow-up to his 'Spring Awakening.' A comic 'American Psycho' you can dance to? Somehow, it works.
