Broadway Kills American Psycho: New Musical Led by Benjamin Walker Sets Closing Date

Despite a catchy score and acclaimed engagements in London, American Psycho received little Tony love this year and is set to shutter on Broadway on June 5 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. Headlined by Benjamin Walker, the new tuner officially opened on April 21 and at time of closing will have played a total of 81 performances.

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 Alice Ripley, Jennifer Damiano, 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. The thriller's subsequent off-Broadway engagement was axed, clearing its direct shot at the Great White Way.
