''American Psycho'' is a musical with music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik and a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. It is based on the controversial 1991 novel ''American Psycho'' by Bret Easton Ellis, which also inspired a 2000 film of the same name, which starred Christian Bale. Set in Manhattan during the Wall Street boom of the late 1980s, ''American Psycho'' is about the daily life of wealthy young investment banker Patrick Bateman. The musical received its world premiere at London's Almeida Theatre in 2013, directed by Rupert Goold and starred Doctor Who actor Matt Smith. A Broadway production will begin performances on 24 March 2016, at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, directed by Goold and starring Benjamin Walker as Patrick Bateman. ==Background== The basis of the musical is the 1991 novel ''American Psycho'' by Bret Easton Ellis. In 2008, it was confirmed that producers David Johnson, Jesse Singer and Nate Bolotin were developing a musical adaptation of the novel to appear on Broadway. A workshop took place in Manhattan in 2011, with Benjamin Walker playing the lead role of Patrick Bateman. In April 2012, it was announced that London theatre company Headlong would stage the musical's world premiere during their 2012-13 season. At the same time a Kickstarter campaign was launched to raise 150,000 dollars, to allow them to have a live orchestra and extend the rehearsal period for the production to seven weeks.
