Drew Moerlein & More Added to the Cast of American Psycho; Opening Night Date Set

Killer casting! Drew Moerlein, who can be seen in the horror series South of Hell, is just one of the names tapped for the Broadway premiere of American Psycho. Led by Benjamin Walker, the musical, written by Duncan Sheik and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, will begin performances at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on March 24. Opening night has now been set for April 20.

Along with Moerlein as Paul Owen, the cast will include Krystina Alabado as Vandan, Dave Thomas Brown as David van Patten, Jordan Dean as Luis Carruthers, Anna Eilinsfeld as Victoria, Jason Hite as Sean Bateman, Ericka Hunter as Sabrina, Holly James as Christine, Keith Randolph Smith as Detective Kimball, Alex Michael Stoll as Craig McDermott and Morgan Weed as Courtney Lawrence. Rounding out the company will be Sydney Morton, Anthony Sagaria and Neka Zang.

Directed by Rupert Goold and based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis (which also inspired the Christian Bale-led film), the musical follows 26-year-old Patrick Bateman (Walker): a sophisticated, rich and devastatingly handsome Wall Street banker in 1980s New York City. He’s got a sculpted body, a model-gorgeous girlfriend and a to-die-for apartment. There’s just one snag: He also has a murderous, psychopathic alter ego that he hides from his friends and co-workers.

The show will also star the previously announced Tony winner Alice Ripley, Tony nominee Jennifer Damiano and Broadway alum Heléne Yorke
