Get a Killer First Look at Matt Smith in Duncan Sheik's American Psycho Musical in London

The new musical based on Bret Easton Ellis's dark and violent novel American Psycho officially opens at London's Almeida Theatre on December 12, but we have your first look at the sure-to-be unsettling production. The musical stars Doctor Who's Matt Smith as Patrick Bateman, the yuppie son of a wealthy Wall Street financier who's obsessed with success, fashion and style. Oh, and he's also a serial killer who murders and mutilates both strangers and acquaintances. Featuring a book by Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark's Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and a score by Tony and Grammy winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening), American Psycho is helmed by Almeida Theatre Artistic Director Ruper Goold.
