Benjamin Walker, Alice Ripley & More Slay as American Psycho Begins Previews on Broadway

Audiences are in for a bloody good time at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre as American Psycho previews begin on March 24. Headliner Benjamin Walker, Tony winner Alice Ripley and Tony nominee (and current Broadway.com vlogger) Jennifer Damiano are just a few of the stars that will slay in the production, which officially opens on April 21.

The Rupert Goold-helmed musical boasts a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and a score by Duncan Sheik. Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis (which also inspired the Christian Bale-led film), American Psycho follows 26-year-old Patrick Bateman (Walker): a sophisticated, affluent and devastatingly handsome Wall Street tycoon in 1980s New York City. He’s got a sculpted body, a model-gorgeous girlfriend and a picture-perfect apartment. There’s just one snag: he also has a murderous, psychopathic alter ego that he hides from his friends and co-workers.

The cast also includes Heléne Yorke, Theo Stockman, Brandon Kalm, Drew Moerlein, Krystina Alabado, Dave Thomas Brown, Jordan Dean, Anna Eilinsfeld, Jason Hite, Ericka Hunter, Holly James, Keith Randolph Smith, Alex Michael Stoll and Morgan Weed.

London fans feasted their eyes on the to-die-for musical during its world premiere at the Almeida Theatre in December 2013 followed by a successful run in the West End. The thriller's subsequent off-Broadway engagement was axed, clearing its direct shot at the Great White Way.
